On download of a file from an FTP server the file gets also the current date of the local computer. And the FTP servers usually do not offer commands to set the file dates on server after uploading it. The FTP protocol does not support uploading files with keeping last modification date. On uploading a file to an FTP server the file gets on the server always the current date of the server. Some additional words on FTP folder synchronization: that this option works on a folder synchronization (local NTFS to local FAT32 drive). With Copy file dates enabled at Options - Configuration - Compare - Folder Sync - Folder Sync Options which determines the default for a new Folder Synchronization Compare sessions, respectively with Copy file dates enabled in the dialog opened via Session - Session Properties on an already opened Folder Synchronization Compare, UltraCompare sets all three dates after copying a file in target location to the source file dates if the file system on target drive (and the used protocol) supports it.īut please note that this feature is available only for a Folder Synchronization, not for a folder compare with copying files next after compare. The only file date which is not changed by the file system on copy is the last modification date of a file and this date is displayed usually as file date. The last access date is also managed automatically by the file system.
And on NTFS drives the last modification date of the directory into which a file is copied is also updated to let users know when something was modified the last time in this directory. The creation date is automatically set by the file system when a file is created in a directory. On Windows the file systems store three file dates per file: the creation date, the last modification date and the last access date.
