How do I access the create date from Windows after the file has been FTP'd to UNIX ?
I run an application that creates a hostname_log.txt file on the c:\ of each windows workstation.
At the end of each day, these log files are FTP'd to a directory on a UNIX box. When I run "ls -lrt", the timestamp that is displayed is the timestamp that the FTP occured, not the timestamp that the file was originally created back on the windows workstation. Is it possible to access this original "file created timestamp" from the UNIX box ? Many thanks in advance. Last edited by gavman99; 10-10-2008 at 10:54 AM.. Reason: Typo |

UNIX does not have nor does it preserve a file creation timestamp.
There are ctime (looks like creation time but is not) is the time of the last inode modification. inodes are file metadata areas in the filesystem mtime - last time the file was modified atime - last time the file was accessed. If it is imperative to keep the windows creation time, change the destination filename in FTP to reflect the time. |

solutions:
append to the log the information dir file.log>>file.log ( I know you will then have to do a little editing on it in unix...) archive the file (zip?) to newfile then ftp to unix box when you restore, it should hopefully give you the original timestamp... |
