The question asks how to get ls on Cygwin to show the file size in bytes. To do this you must set the block size to 1 (one).

ls -l --block-size=1

First of all, welcome to Super User! We are always glad to help, but you apparently have two Super User accounts: this one and this one. Please take the time to utilize the following Help Center tutorial and ask the Super User staff to merge your accounts: I accidentally created two accounts; how do I merge them?

Try this : 

ls -s --block-size=1k

and

ls -s --block-size=8k

1And to make it work all the time, add in ~/.bashrc alias ls='ls -s --blocksize=1k' and then it will always work (after log out/back in that is) – Justin – 2012-11-28T00:37:43.387
