I know we can use the size method from the FTP class to find the size of the files in the FTP server. But here I want to find the total remaining space in the server after files are uploaded so that we could guess how many more files we can upload. Is there a way to do this?

This is not really Python/ftplib question. It's more about what information does your FTP server provide.
- Some servers support commands like
AVBL(for example Serv-U); - or
XQUOTA(for example WS_FTP). - Microsoft IIS can be configured to add free disk space to the output of
LISTcommand (see Is it possible to determine the amount of free space on a remote FTP server without using scripts?).
All these can be used from ftplib. But in general, most FTP servers do not provide any of these.
