Thanks Sarah!
That's the direction I was going.

What is the method y'all use to check to see if a file on an ftp
server is newer (or different?) than the local file?
(This is for a self-updating app with a "splash" app that downloads,
then runs a main stack.)
MD5? Date/time? Version number in filename?
Tanx in advance. 8^)
I use the version number in the file name. I have a self-updating app
with about 20 substacks. When I change one, I upload it with a file
name like "efTimers204.rev.gz". The app logs in and sees that this is
version 2.04. It checks a custom property of it's current
"efTimers.rev" stack and if it is less than 2.04, it downloads the new
one, uncompresses and installs it.
HTH,
Sarah
