Unless I am misunderstood he is creating a "MVS" file and not a Unix System Services file, so what attributes is he attempting to keep?
Even if is he ftp'ing to Unix System Services what system attributes will he be maintaining, other than create date/time? The owner and group ID's and permissions will all be different. If who created is not the same, does it matter when it was actually created? From the point of view of an auditor.
