Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

This may sound heretical, but FrontPage Explorer is *very*
good at this (FPE is the only good bit of FP, in case you think
I'm going soft).

That, more than any other reason, is the reason why blue chips
buy it.

Both 'Local' and Remote need to be web servers running FP Extensions
(which add a whole *load* of hidden files to your production box -
not ideal) - PWS will do the job for your local server.

Cheers
Martin

Welp, there's always Anarchie/Interarchy, which I use constantly to
maintain 3000+ file sites. It allows you to define a bookmark which you can
simply click on, and it will compare file sizes (not dates) to determine
which ones to upload. You can also define a "mirror placeholder", which
allows you to say "hey! don't sync this directory!", which is helpful for
log reports, cgi-bins, or other like directories.

I've heard Transfer and NetFinder have the same ability, but last I knew,
Transfer didn't have mirror placeholders, and I haven't had a chance to try
NetFinder...
