Now I was thinking about doing that. Good solid way of telling if the files are different. How-ever you dont know if one is older. You could accidentally copy an old file over a new file. With what I'm copying, this could happen, something would def have to be messed up on the local machine to do this, but i could. I might have to go that way if I cant figure out this issue.

There an easy way to get the hash using vb.net?
