  • 1.  FTP Object changed Date Modified of Files

    Posted Jan 27, 2015 01:46 AM
    Hello,
    i have an Issue while transferring files via FTP Object to the local host. The local horst is a Windows 2008 server.
    Every time the transfer starts, all files get the date modified changed to the current date.

    Is it possible to keep the date modified like as it is before the FTP?

    Thanks for your help.

    By default this is not possible, the FTP Agent uses standard (plain) FTP commands like get or mget.
    So the file is being created with the timestamp the file is received and written from the OS.

    Possibly if the FTP Server supports that, you can try with commandline and put this command to the FTP Commandline in the FTP Job.

    As workaround you could try to read the file create timestamp and edit it after the Filetransfer with OS script or a 3rd party tool.
