Remote file search: add dates

[Barry McKay]

It would be helpful to be able to search all remote files modified in a specific date range to track recent changes or if your site has been FTP hacked and you know when.

The Remote File Search (F3) feature would therefore need to be expanded to include "Last Modified" date to first drop down where Filename, Filesize and Path are currently. As well the drop down next to that would need to specify two new options: "greater than" and "less than" and then the ability enter a date and time in maybe a masked field so that a full date and full time would need to be entered.

For example:
Last Modified; Greater than; 08/07/2010 9:23:00 am
Last Modified; Less than; 08/07/2010 9:45:00 am

This would be a very useful feature. You could search and download just the files that have been changed in a certain time period which would save a lot of time and bandwidth.

I'm inclined to implement this, though I would use a better date format. ISO in particular:

YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss

Unambiguous, precise and easy to enter, read and understand.
