Something on my FTP server is taking up a massive amount of space..

..and I don't know what it is.

I've tried asking my web host to find the file or folder that is using up 2GBs (and counting), but they instead just keep giving me free quota upgrade. Fine, but it doesn't solve the issue!

I'm using Parallels H-Sphere and I've disabled Webalizer and AWStats, but something is still eating into my quota.

I've tried looking through folders in FTP manually, but there are so many, and I can't find the offending file/folder.

Is there a FTP tool that can download the entire file structure and file sizes without actually downloading those files?

If your host has cpanel, there are file management and disk space useage tools on there which should help you. If its not cpanel, hopefully your host will have something similar.

Presuming you're on Linux, a 'du -hc' will show directory usage and a 'find -size +100M' will show large files :)

At a guess I'd say it's an error log, I've found ones which are 10Gb+ before :eek:
