Since your lists can only hold strings, I guess you are retrieving the last modification time in each iteration? That would be slow (filesystem + remote ftp). Better to retrieve every date (local + ftp) and save it in an array with a structure for two fields (string name, date lastModification) and just compare those two arrays.

Thanks for fast reply.

I guess you are retrieving the last modification time in each iteration?

Nope, I'm getting all data here:

		 List<String> _Local_Files = getLocalFiles(new File(Config._SDCARD_DIR), null);  //Getting array with Local Files in phone files names + files date eg. "/00/22.jpg;2012-04-13"
 List<String> _FTP_Files = getFTPfiles();  //Array with FTP files names + files date eg. "/00/20.jpg;2012-06-13"
 List<String> _Files_Need = new ArrayList<String>(); //new array 
	

Better to retrieve every date (local + ftp) and save it in an array with a structure for two fields (string name, date lastModification) and just compare those two arrays.

Can you give me some example? I'm new in Java, so i can't understand everything. I'm already comparing two arrays: 1.Check if filename in array1 equals in array2 (same file), then file exist, else - [Add missing file]. 2.Compare date in array1 to array2, if date in local array is < (older) than date in ftp array - [Add missing file]

Thanks.
