Date/Times (timestamps) on uploads

richardjf · Post by **richardjf** » Wed Jun 02, 2004 8:02 pm

I have read a couple of other messages here about file timestamps when uploading files, but I am still confused!

When I used Micro$ofts Web Publishing Wizard, the files on my FTP server got the same date/time as my local files. This is also the case with Wise FTP, but when I use Core FTP Lite (V1.3 build 1334) they don't!

Immediately after the upload, the server file listing in Core FTP shows the correct timestamp (the same as that of the local file), but when I move to a different folder, and then back again, it changes to show some other timestamp (I assume that of the FTP server).

I have tried this with the "Do not use MDTM for date/time" option both checked and unchecked and there is no difference in behaviour.

Any ideas?

What's confusing me is that Wise FTP and Micro$oft retained my timestamps!

OK, next set of dumb questions!

How come Wise FTP worked?

I can't find any mention of the Log's location in the help file except where it says to look at it! Where is it? And what's it called?

Thanks!

Was this post meant for a different thread?

I modified a file on my system so it had the timestamp of 6/3/04 8:27.

After uploading, Core FTP displayed the timestamp as 6/3/04 8:27.

After refreshing the file listing on the server the timestamp of the file was displayed as 6/3/04 13:26.

That might be tough. The reason i switched to Core FTP was becausze the server implemented SSL/TLS and Wise FTP doesn't support that!

Let me see what I can figure out...

(By the way, I REALLY appreciate you sticking with me on this!)

So just for clarification, If I want my Upload to the server to have the same Time stamp as my Local Drive, what do I need to have checked?
