Hi,





*Netgear RN102:*


*Thecus N2100:*


Same known behaviour since WinXP upto actual Win10.



What could be the reason ?

(How) can I solve this ?
Any experinces with other NAS-brands in combination with WGET ?



Thanks for helping

Kind regards

Actually I'm using wget-1.21.3-win32/64 and I have (since long) a weird problem : I have an "old" Thecus N2100 NAS and a "less old" Netgear RN102 (newest Firmware). They are used in Windows with their UNC (\\NAS\Folder\....). When downloading files from the Internet with WGET,*the original Date/Time stamp of the files is lost* (it becomes the download-Date/Time). To be clear, this only concerns WGET ! Windows-copies keep the original Date/Time ! Simultaneous downloading of the same files (same PC, same WGET) to the Thecus *will retain the original Date/Time* like it's done also on a normal PC-drive. I have never been able to find a solution for the Netgear, so actually couldn't use it for all my needs. What is WGET doing after the file has been downloaded to set the correct Date/time (on the Thecus) This Date/Time behaviour is crucial for me for purchasing a new NAS !!! It MUST work.

Hi,



Then make sure that you have the latest wget, best from
https://eternallybored.org/misc/wget/

The code to set the file time is in src/utils.c:

/* "Touch" FILE, i.e. make its mtime ("modified time") equal the time
   specified with TM.  The atime ("access time") is set to the current
   time.  */

void
touch (const char *file, time_t tm)
{
  struct utimbuf times;

  times.modtime = tm;
  times.actime = time (NULL);

  if (utime (file, &times) == -1)
    logprintf (LOG_NOTQUIET, "utime(%s): %s\n", file, strerror (errno));
}



But if utime() fails, you should see that log output.



Regards, Tim

are you sure that both directories (on the two different NASes) have exactly the same permissions ? Maybe also check that both have the same file system (I can only guess that both use NTFS, but I am not a Win expert). 'utime()' on Windows is emulated by gnulib - so there is a chance that the latest wget works differently as it contains a newer gnulib code. The gnulib Windows emulation code is in lib/utime.c, if you are interested in the details.
