Transferring file date on upload?

[vbien]

Is it possible to transfer the date of files from a client unchanged when uploaded to the server? I use Filezilla client and have tried setting sending the date of the file but Wing FTP server doesn't recognise it and dates the file on the date and time of the transfer.

I use reverse date order listing of uploaded client backup files to keep track of them and it is time-consuming and annoying to have to manually edit the file date to their creation date at the client's after upload (or download depending on your point of view).

Actually, it can be handled by FTP client software via this command: MDTM YYYYMMDDHHMMSS;filename

[vbien]

The problem is that with Filezilla it is not possible to type in the date and time info ahead of the filename. Filezilla does have an option to "Preserve time stamp of transferred files" however, it doesn't work (or I would never have started this thread). At the Filezilla forum there is a reply to someone else who had the same problem. Check it out at: http://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20530&hilit=date+file+date+transfer+file+date" rel="nofollow

The site administrator wrote in reply: "Check the transfer menu.

"Note that this requires that the server supports the MFMT command. If the server doesn't support it, there's no way to set the remote file timestamp."

So now the question is does Wing FTP support the MFMT command? If not can I add it to the wish list? If it does support it why doesn't it work in my case?

Yes, I know, so we plan to add this FTP command "MFMT" in the next release.

[vbien]

OK thank you. Look forward to the new release.

Downloaded and installed version 4.08 today and checked out preservation of time stamp of files when uploaded to server. Still does not work.

Could you paste the related server logs?
