Re: Preserving timestamps with Net::FTP

If $ftp->mdtm() is not working for you, why not rename the files when you are done retrieving the file on the remote system, to e.g., "$oldfilename.done". Then you know you've already got it.

That's an interesting idea. I would have to rename it file.oldtime though since the idea is to be able to do daily updates to the website from a local source. It would just be cleaner if I could preserve the time on the file attributes so that mdtm() worked. Thanks, Ira "So... What do all these little arrows mean?" ~unknown	[reply]
