Hi Mike,

 

I have an application which checks a file to see if it has been updated within a specified period.

 

If you want the source email me off list and I will send it plus the parameters for usage.

Subject: [SA-list] Checking the datetime of a remote file

I am looking for a good way to check the datetime of files on remote servers. Specifically, I need to be able to tell if they've been updated within the last hour or the current day. I tried to write a simple VB application that would return an errorlevel based on the result, however there is no way to define user authentication for the "External (Errorlevel)" check-type like there is for the other types.


Thanks,

Mike Smith
