I thank you again, I see I have two possibilities one with Thttp but I must know the name of the file,And is it possible to obtain the file creation date without downloading it,in the case I know its name? or with TFTP and here I must ask if I can put a special password for the specified directory where users could download (because I don't want they can modify my web site). For the instance I have done it with TFTP but the password is a problem! I thank you again Patrick.
