There is no command in the FTP protocol that would allow the client to tell the server what date or time to store on a file uploaded to that server.

Hello,
we are having the following problem with IIS running on Windows 2003 Server: each time we place files on the FTP site, its attributes (creation date etc..) are changed to the current date. But we want our files to retain their original attributes when we copy them to the FTP site. We never experienced this problem on NT4 or windows 2000 Is this an option on W2003 Server? Many thanks, Philippe
I am having the same problem. If you upload it using FTP, the file on the
FTP server will have the stamp date changed to the time it was transferred. Unless you do a file copy, I'm afraid it is a feature of the FTP. If we have to use FTP to upload the files but still want to retain the stamp date, does any one has a solution?

Not sure there will be with Windows file systems involved. FTP doesn't write the timestamp, the file system does. Jeff [quoted text, click to view] >

As I posted earlier, FTP doesn't have any command to set the time on a file
uploaded through FTP. That doesn't mean it can't be done outside of FTP, of course. The obvious method is to upload an archive - ZIP, CAB, ARC, ZOO, or whatever - they almost all set the file dates when they are un-archived. Archive the file(s) you want to upload, upload the archive, and un-archive them at their destination.

Perhaps I should be more explicit.
There is no command in the FTP protocol to do this. We are not talking about a limitation on just Microsoft's IIS FTP server, we are talking about a feature that just isn't a part of the protocol at all. A few clients, and maybe a server or two, have implemented a rather unreliable hack centering around the MDTM command, but it's been debated by the working group responsible for FTP RFCs, and rejected as being unreliable, and an inappropriate extension to a command that is only designed to display the last-write time.

I'm afraid I'll have to do as suggested. Otherwise, try other FTP server
software or turn to another OS.
