I don't think creating a file on the receiver would be too invasive. Just clunky. I assume you are thinking of setting mtime to an odd value and see if it remains the same or is rounded. Doing this once per directory would be insane. I don't much like the idea but maybe do it for each file... static dev_t prev_dev = 0; static int fs_1second = 1; if (cmp_modtime(st->st_mtime,file->modtime) == 0) { return 0; } if (!(file->modtime - st->st_mtime == 1 || file->modtime & 1)) { return 1; } # does st_dev represent anything meaningful on cygwin? # if not use dirname(fname) and strcmp(ewww!) if (prev_dev != st->st_dev) { prev_dev = st->st_dev; fs_1second = test_fs_1second(fname); } return fs_1second; yuck! I feel icky typing it, but it would work. So you know, this would replace the current cmp_modtime line in skip_file(). The only thing it favor of this is that it would exactly cover the FAT or FAT over samba receiver case with no detectable false negatives. -- ________________________________________________________________ J.W.
