Get File Size of File to download using FTP

I am using the simpleFTPsample of apple. I want to display a progress bar of the file being downloaded. I understand it needs to be done in:
- (void)stream:(NSStream *)aStream handleEvent:(NSStreamEvent)eventCode
under the case:
case NSStreamEventOpenCompleted:

how do i retrive the file size from the NSInputStream?

I have also tried:

i have set:
[self.networkStream setProperty:@"YES" forKey:(id)kCFStreamPropertyFTPFetchResourceInfo];
and then:
NSLog(@"size: %@",[self.networkStream propertyForKey:(id)kCFStreamPropertyFTPResourceSize]);
but the result is null...

To get the file size you just need:

case NSStreamEventOpenCompleted: {
      fileSize = [[self.networkStream propertyForKey:(id)kCFStreamPropertyFTPResourceSize] integerValue];}

By the way do you know how to get the modification date of the file in the ftp server??

You will have to set kCFStreamPropertyFTPFetchResourceInfo to true. That way the CFFTPStream will send a STAT command to the FTP server to get file info, including the total size.
