"IllegalArgumentException: Negative time" copying to Windows share
------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: IO-270
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-270
             Project: Commons IO
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Utilities
    Affects Versions: 2.0.1
         Environment: Windows 7, Java 64 bit server v1.6.0_22-b04
            Reporter: Luke Quinane


A customer reported the following exception to us:

{noformat}java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Negative time
      at java.io.File.setLastModified(File.java:1258)
      at org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.doCopyFile(FileUtils.java:686)
      at org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.copyFile(FileUtils.java:653)
      at org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils.copyFile(FileUtils.java:607)
      at <in house code>{noformat}

Part of the problem is the exception itself but also our code was expecting 
FileUtils to throw IOException instead of ISE.
