[REBOL] Comparing local and remote files

From: tim:johnsons-web at: 17-Dec-2002 21:27


Hi All:
Given a list of files: I'd like to:
1)Confirm that a copy of any file in the list exists
  both on a remote directory and on my local machine.
2)Compare both copies to see if they are of the same size.

Any ideas of where to start?
Here's a track of a console session -

make object! [

    type: 'file
]

make object! [

    date: none
    type: 'file
] ; <sigh/>
