Hi All, Firstly - thank you Sean for the help and the guideline to get the size comparison, I will definitely look into this.
At the moment I actually have 2 bigger issues that needs sorting... 1. I have the script popping all the files that need to be checked into a list, and have it parsing the list for everything...Now the problem is this : The sever needs to check (at the moment) 375 files and eliminate those that don't need reuploading. This number will obviously get bigger and bigger as more files gets uploaded. Now, the problem that I'm having is that the script is taking forever to parse the list and give the final result. How can I speed this up? 2. This issue is actually because of the first one. While the script is parsing the lists and files, the connection to the ftp server times out, and I honestly must say that is is quite annoying. I know I can set the function to reconnect if it cannot find a connection, but wouldn't it just be easier just to keep the connection alive? Any idea how I can keep the connection alive? Thanks for all the help folks, I really appreciate it! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
