Author FTP upload changes file timestamp
Thomas

I have a Windows 2003 server set up to allow FTP transfers.

I am using Intenet Explorer 6 for the file transfers.

When I copy a file from my local network and then paste it onto the server,
the timestamp changes to the current time/date.

I need the original timestamp to retained on the server. Is there any way
to achieve this?

Thomas,

No, the date and timestamp is applied ot the file by the underlying
OS. In effect you are creating a new file on the server.

The MDTM command in FTP is used to display the last modified date/time
of a file not change it.
