hi

thanks for the reply but i still need some help.i have a file on my server and i am able to download it on my client with INET control.now what i want is that whenever there is any change in the file on the server the file on the client should be updated automatically.Is it possible to get the timestamp of file which is on the server.if not then have do i achive this.also i want to download all files fro a particular folder without having to sepcify individual filenames.if i have 5 files in a folder all with same extenstion then the client should be able to download all of then in a single instance.i dont want to specify the filenames.

thanks

Well, i don't know about timestamp but u can connect to server on certain intervals and check is there any diff. between filesize then download file on client machine. And u can also download list of files with inet control. I don't have any example right now but i am sure you will get something here . Just seach there with keyword 'inet'.
