If you want the file sizes, then you should not use CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY,
that tells libcurl to only list the names. Instead, just make sure that
your CURLOPT_URL ends with a trailing slash / and libcurl will return the
directory listing in whatever format the server provides (which usually
includes the sizes). From there, you can either try to parse the output
yourself, or use a ready-made parser like this one:
