powershell wrong results for file length - powershell

Question

I have a file with length of 309247 bytes as this image:
If I run this powershell script:
(Get-Item 'C:\TestFile.082').length
309247
But if run the same script but a $file variable it returns this:
$fpath = Get-Item $file.FullName
$fpath.length
309800
# or
(Get-Item $file.FullName).length
309800
# or
$file.length
309800
NOTE $file is a variable into a loop for all files contained in a directory
Why if I'm referencing the same file the results are different?
How can I do to get the real value (309247)?
This is my Full Code
$filesToFtp = Get-Item $pathToFtp -Exclude "*.PreARM"
foreach($file in $filesToFtp)
{
$fpath = Get-Item $file.FullName
$fpath.Length
$FileNode = $oXMLDocumentFiles.CreateElement("element","curtmpremotelxml_files","")
$nodoXML = "<versionnum>"+$versplain+"</versionnum>"+
"<filename>"+$file.Name.ToUpper()+"</filename>"+
"<filesize>"+$file.length+".00</filesize>"+
$FileNode.InnerXml = $nodoXML
$oXMLDocumentFiles.DocumentElement.AppendChild($FileNode)
}

It looks like you aren't using the cmdlet you think you are:
foreach( $file in (Get-Item 'c:\')) { ($file.FullName).Length }
is a condensed version of your variable to fill $fPath, but what it returns is a System.IO.FileSystemInfo object, of which there is a member called FullPath, a string.
What I assume you want it
foreach( $file in (Get-ChildItem 'c:\')) { ($file.FullName).Length }
which would return an Array of filepaths of the child items (or files within the folder)
This would also let you clean up a few things
$currentFilePath = $file.FullName
$fLength = $currentFilePath.Length
