That is what the OnWork... events are for.  The OnWorkBegin event tells you
when a transfer is beginning, and how much data is going to be transferred.
The OnWork event tells you the progress of the transfer.  The OnWorkEnd
event tells you when the transfer finishes.

Keep in mind, however, that the FTP protocol does not send the file size
during a transfer.  So when you use the Get() method to download a file from
the server, the OnWorkBegin event will not be able to tell you the size of
the file that is being transferred.  You will have to determine the file's
size before calling Get(), such as with a directory listing or with the
Size() method.

Uploading files, on the other hand, will always report the correct file size
in the OnWorkBegin event, since it uses the size of the stream that is used
for the transfer.
