Hello,

i need to send files through a tcp or ftp connection, no problem.

but i have a lot of files in the source folder, so i'd like to send only the
files changed since the last send.

i know how to this using the date+time of the file and keeping a database to
compare the dates the next time.

but i think it's possible by removing the archive bit from the file and
checking it in the next time.
is it possible?
is it secure? windows or another program will always set this archive bit
when change the file?

thanks!

Bruno
