Iv got my self stuck on getting file time from a file and checking it with the file time from bnet. (it was ages ago i done anything like this)
I googled up the functions i need (and a few more) and have played around with them for awhile, but i need somone to refresh my memory.

[code]
Private Type FILETIME
    dwLowDateTime As Long
    dwHighDateTime As Long

End Sub


[/code]

and the out put is:
[code]
GFT;
B4 BE C5 01
E8 CB 36 17
C4 BE C5 01
9C FC F4 BC
C0 BE C5 01
9C FC F4 BC
FTTLFT;
BC BE C5 01
E8 33 FB 78

00 AC 41 43 25 0B C5 01
[/code]
I must be doing somthing wrong, or not calling a function i should be.
BnetDocs has been down since yesterday, so i havent been able to check any infomation on it (if there is any)
Any help would be great, thanks in advance!

hmm, *bump*
I might have asked wrongly, im having problems getting the correct file time from a file that matchs/is anything like the file time sent by battle.net servers.

[code]00 AC 41 43 25 0B C5 01[/code]
Is Battle.net's file time for IX86Ver3.mpq, but im having problems checking it.
Can anyone please explaing to me what steps need to be taken to produce the correct value to check?
I cant really add the FTP protocol to my bnet server project untill i get round this, so any help and i will be mostly greatfull!

Thanks in advance!
