Through your FTP client. It should tell you the total size in bytes (or KB if it is automatic). I recommend FileZilla.

Nope ! Filezilla will give you the content of a single folder, provided that it has no subfolders. If you want to know inside phpbb or 4images, you will see only the first folder (with install.php and config.cfg) and not the full content including all the subfolders.

Hey, I think you can get the size of folders/directories and all what is inside them by using CPanel?

I discoverd this just today

In cPanel, you have "File Manager", but that won't help you, as it is used only to manipulate folders. The things you should use is "Disk Usage", right next to the manager. It tells you how much space each folder takes up.
