The feature that allows the client to set the date/time for a file uploaded to an FTP server is support for the MDTM command on the FTP server side. This is an internal command for the protocol (like STOR, RETR, etc.) that is a proposed, but as yet unaccepted standard. Without the MDTM command, the server sets the date/time for an uploaded file to the time on the server. By running a trace, you should see that the WS_FTP client sends the MDTM command to the server. I think you will see that IIS returns an error for the MDTM command (which is not considered a serious problem by WS_FTP client).
I **believe** IIS includes an MDTM command but it does not adhere to the proposed standard. I may have stated this point incorrectly, so please check further. The WS_FTP server supports MDTM, and will set the date/time correctly (down to the seconds). However, the ftpsync program only compares date/times down to the minute, and this can lead to errors in file synchronization. > -----Original Message----- > From: amar [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, January 20, 2003 5:39 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [WS_FTP Forum] > > > > Hi All, > > I am using WSFTP pro 7.6 for file synchronization.
