I am using the ftp_size command to connect to a NcFTPd server.  NcFTPd does not support the size command in ascii mode. Information is at :

http://www.ncftpd.com/ncftpd/doc/faq/func.html#size_ascii

Is there any way that this could be changed to binary mode, ie insert about line 602 of function/ftp.c the following: 

if (!ftp_type(ftp, FTPTYPE_IMAGE))
	return -1;

Or for consistancy of the API have an optional mode parameter to this function.

Thanks for the newly added ftp support and thank you for your assistance.
