I found this very old log entry: Version 0.14.0 - 1998-01-28 * reverse mirror (--reverse) (limited - no symlinks, no timestamps) Does this mean that support for timestamp with mirror --reverse has never been implemented?? In 13 years, nobody asked for this feature? http://linux.overshoot.tv/ticket/211 I am willing to prepare a patch but I am a C++ newbie and I don't know the lftp code base, so at the very least, I'd need some help. I figured that the relevant file is src/MirrorJob.cc ... But to start with, I'd need some answers to the following questions: 1) has this feature already been implemented? Is it supposed to work? 2) If not, is there a particular reason why it wasn't implemented? 3) Would it be difficult to implement?
