File exists rules

Hello there...

Isn't possible to make an FXP (site to site) rule so that even though the files has the same size, it's the newest date/time of the file which get's transferred to the destination host

I am having problem when comparing almost identical WWW roots.

Some of the files has the same size, but the date/time is different. Can you follow??

If we have an index.htm file on the source host and the same file on the destination host, but on the source host we have a coulpe of hours later change a "." (dot) to an ";" (semicolon) the file would not bee transfered because the file size is the same.
Only the date/time stamp of the file has changed.

well, you will have to compare first, but just go to the advanced compare options, and select size and date...its the little dropdown arrow on the compare button.

Okay...

But what if I have around 150 directories with about 2500 files, then this option is kinda slow, because I have to compare each directory for itself... right?
