How to get the size of the file

Question

Hi All,
I want to get the size of the file in terms of bytes. I used the following code it returns the value in long how can get it in bytes
import java.io.File;
public class ServerBackupCheck {
     public static void main(String args[]){
          File f = new File("C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Tomcat 5.5");
          System.out.println(f.isDirectory());
          System.out.println(f.getTotalSpace());
output:
true

if it is a folder you can use this recursive algorithm
public static long recurse(File f) throws IOException
          long bytes = 0;
          File files[] = f.listFiles();
          for(int i =0 ;i<files.length;i++)
               File file = files ;
               if(file.isFile())
                    FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
                    byte[] by = new byte[fis.available()];
                    fis.read(by);
                    bytes = bytes + by.length;
               if(file.isDirectory())
                    bytes = bytes + recurse(file);
          return bytes;
System.out.println(recurse(f));  gives you the total bytes....
