Are you saying your -local- files end up with a time-of-the-ftp mod time?
That would seem very odd indeed. Is your local machine a Win*, which I
think has both an access and a mod time, right? -- so maybe it's the
access time that's being set?
On the other hand, I've just pulled up FTP.java, and there's a block of
code in there that might be pertinent:
// For Microsoft's Ftp-Service an Array with length 0 is
// returned if configured to return listings in "MS-DOS"-Format
if (files == null || files.length == 0)
{
// If we are sending files, then assume out of date.
// If we are getting files, then throw an error
if( action == SEND_FILES ) {
log("Could not date test remote file: " + remoteFile
+ "assuming out of date.", Project.MSG_VERBOSE);
return false;
} else {
throw new BuildException("could not date test remote file: " +
ftp.getReplyString());
}
}
If you are on a Win*, do you see that log output when you run -verbose?
