      it sounds like you need a managed host..


      du -s dirname

          To make sure that the output is in kilobytes:

          du -ks dirname

          For megabytes type:

          du -ms dirname

              du -h folder works, too. -h is for "human readable"
              SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                  du -h will list all file sizes in that dir, then at the end give you total of the original... kind of messy if you just want the total size.
