    check date of file on website from win form app

    Hello,
    From within my VB 2008 windows forms app, how would I check the date (i.e. modify date) of a file on a website (i.e. "www.mysite.com/somefile.txt")?
    "It's cold gin time again ..."

    Check out my website here.

    Um... you meant a date written from inside the file? Or the "last modified" date?

    Either way, you can't do that directly. You have to download the file, modify it, and then upload it. Which isn't hard, but you have to have FTP access to upload it.
