Hi,
This is my first posting... I'm still a Perl newbie.
So, I figure subscribing here will help improve my
skills.
Trying to check a file on an ftp server to see if it
has changed ... is newer ... than a prior download.
I can see how to use NET::FTP to connect and get the
file. I'm not sure how to do the comparison without
first downloading the file ... I can store a MD5
checksum or use the size of file or date to do the
comparison.
Open to your suggestions,
Thanks,
Al
