It appears the best way to do this is to apply the java getSize() method to
the ff object, like this:
def ffSize = ff.getSize()
This seems to output the file size to the log in bytes.
def file_size = (ffSize != null) ? ffSize :0
if (file_size == 0) {
log.error("file_size is undefined or zero, which prevents division.")
session.transfer(ff, REL_FAILURE)
return
}
log.info("File size: ${file_size}")
