I am running an ftp server under FreeBSD 2.2.6.
When I do the following there is something strange.

$ ftp localhost
... (omit login process)
ftp> cd pub
ftp> ls
total 656
-rw-r--r--  1 root  operator  321381 Sep  5 04:05 mc-4.1.31.tgz
ftp> size mc-4.1.31.tgz
mc-4.1.31.tgz   322545
ftp> quit
$ 

Why does 'ls' says the file size is 321381 while 'size' indicates
that the file is 322545 bytes long ???

Who can account for it?

Thanx.
