Get size of directory via command line

2017-10-05 16:01

Using the properties option within the GUI, you can click on the calculate button and get the size of the folder including sub folders.

Is there any way of getting this same information using the CLI ?

Many thanks

It's easy with WinSCP .NET assembly and PowerShell
https://winscp.net/eng/docs/library_powershell

$files =
    $session.EnumerateRemoteFiles(
        "/remote/path", $Null, [WinSCP.EnumerationOptions]::AllDirectories)
$size = ($files | Measure-Object -Property Length -Sum).Sum
