To automatically pull an updated file from server to client

Let's say File A exists on both Server and Client.
If I update File A on the Server, I want the Client to detect that File A on the Server is more recent than the version in its own local directory. The Client then needs to copy File A from the Server into its local directory. How might I do this?

Hello,
Use the NT Replicator to do this. Set up replication according to the NT Manuals and put files into \winnt\...\repl\export on the Export machine. Specify replication partners and they will receive files in \winnt\...\repl\import. Use the files from this directory. Works only for NT systems.
Good Luck!
