Charles That would seem a reasonable expectation at first, but with various systems' copy commands you are of course dealing with the same environment, including timezones.
If you try and extend this to FTP, then you get into the realms of trying to determine whether the source file was GMT stamped or GMT/offset/local-time stamped and by how much, and what time do you therefore put on it. Also there's the concept that with copy commands the file already existed on the source (and target) environment; with FTP, by nature it's a 'foreign' file which didn't previously exist on teh target system. It's therefore a new creation at the time it was sent.

Wouldn't the least astonishing behavior for FTP be to behave as copy and cp do?
