Hmmm actually having said all that I've seen local file manipulation done via JavaScript. It's not pretty and it puts up a security warning (as it should!).
Check out the saveFile functions in the source over at: http://www.tiddlywiki.com For IE it's using an ActiveX object that is usually accessed via VBScript. For Mozilla based browsers there's some other arcane incantations. I'm sure both platforms allow you to get file size through similar methods.
