FP compares the META data on the files
- but FP does not upload the META data "as is" when it Publishes
(instead it generates a set of updated META files on the server w/ the FP SE)
Sometimes the META data can get corrupted
To get the Meta data up to date,
- In Windows Explorer find and delete all web cache file (*.web)
- Then open your local site and run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks
- Finally try a File Publish All to get the sites in sync,
and thereafter see if it handles changes only correctly

|
| So... if I understand your last paragraph correctly then FP does not compare
| dates on local and remote files? Also, some of the files are href'd only in
| .html's that I'm certain haven't been touched in a long time. How does FP
