In FP2003 the local is the current site open, and the remote is the site you are publishing to
- so the local can be on either your Local PC or your ISP Server depending on which you open
Publish All (using comparing source and destination)
If your server site has dynamic files (generated by the server or scripts - like logs) they will always show a difference
If your local and server clocks are out of sync you may also see differences
