I knew i must be overcomplicating it somehow. :-) So if i give the file() function the full pathname of the directory on the server, i should be able to achieve what i'm wanting without needing to distribute a local copy of the files? Are there any drawbacks of doing this? (Such as having to pull down the content every time to check its MD5 sum, perhaps?)
