Hi everyone,
I am pretty new to Java... I've basically only used free applets on websites before, but now I need to write my own. I am not sure how exactly to start this little project coding-wise, so I figured I'd ask. At my company, we have an intranet site on which will have an "Update Files" button. When clicked, I want a Windows Popup to come up and search a specific folder on the user's computer for an assortment of files and then compare these to a corresponding folder on the server containing updated versions of files or brand new files. If new versions of files or new files are available, I want the popup to display them and prompt to download. When the user clicks download, I obviously need the program to overwrite all the older versions of files, as well as download the new ones into the specific folder. I was thinking that to check if a file is updated, it would check the date modified or date created. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
- Jeff
