I developed a forms input system for an organization and they have locked me out of FTP access to the cgi files .... Since I am locked out of FTP access is there a way I can get access to my cgi scripts or even get information like date stamps or size of scripts.

Ok, I assume that you used to have FTP access to the web server to upload/download cgi scripts, and your client has disabled your FTP log in. Unfortunately there should not be another way to get to the cgi scripts. Otherwise the web server would be insecure and useless. You could try to 'hack' into their system, but that is quite difficult and illegal.

...finding my way around unix file directories is not a strength of mine...

This is nothing to do with unix directories, this is about system security. Unless you have some sort of login to the system, setup by system administrator (root), you would not be able to gain access to it.
