I don't have a lot of experience of Samba, but under windows that's exactly
what I'd expect to see if you copied a bunch of files. To retain timestamps
under windows you generally need to use a backup program and not a copy one.
However, since you're using Nautilus, are you actually using Samba to do the
copy? I'm wondering if you would be better just avoiding Samba and using Linux
/ Unix file transfer tools. A quick google has brought up cp
--preserve=timestamps so I would imagine there are ways to do this.
Using nautilus was easy and more flexible to make transfer but at the
end it took more time according to the timestamps problem :-/
Yep I used scp -pr to copy and preserving timestamps.
So in "résumé" scp is an alternative / workaround but not a solution to
the problem.
What about a little patch in the future? ;-)
Thanks for your answer.

Subject: [Samba] [Samba to samba transfert] Timestamp problem
/[Same as previous mail cause previous filtered and empty]/
Hello all,
I recently did some transfer of files located on a samba server to another
samba server.
To do this I used nautilus from the destination machine to connect to the
source computer and initiate the transfer.
I realized then that the /date created/ and the /date modified/ info of the
transfered files were the same as the transfer date but the original info from
the source computer were good :-/
After a little googling I saw that it was a know problem but I didn't found any
workaround.
If anyone could give me a hand on this it would be very kind.
Thanks in advance,
Hervé
