I am using the Trial-Version of FlashFXP 1.4 for uploading my Webpages.
But it is a problem when updating a page, because there is no option to overwrite only OLDER files.
The Options for bigger / smaller are quite good for downloads, but not for webdesign.

I hope this function will be in the next version, so I can switch to this good FTP-client.

There is atleast one problem with comparing files on date alone; some servers report incorrect dates, others don't report dates at all. What then? Overwrite them all?

The Servers I have access to, all transfer the file-time.
This function should be also just optional to the smaller/lager test. But the smaller/lager test has no use in webdesign, because a new file is not always bigger in size then an older one. So if have to transfer all files, with the current possibilities.

I forgot one thing, i read in another thread...

This compare option and the current one, should be declared for each site, with the option to use standard settings. in this way you can set the file-compare when the server supports this.
