I think this is the issue
The old version of touch does not allow the creation of a filetime on a comparison file,
- for example the OP wants to be able to create a file with a filetime like this:
Code:
-rw-rw-rw-   1 jmcnama    prog             0 Nov 21 00:00 a.lis

Where Nov 21 00:00 has to be dynamic, and is today's first second.

ctime is just the time the inode was changed - nothing else. It is not a create date - they do not exist in standard UNIX.

If the OP has perl v 5.8 you can write perl code to do this. I posted ancient POSIX.1 C code that does that and some other stuff - poorly. If we knew the OS and version it might help. If the OP could compile gnu version of touch that would be good.

Otherwise I have misunderstood completely.

CURLINFO_FILETIME(3)					     curl_easy_getinfo options					      CURLINFO_FILETIME(3)

NAME
CURLINFO_FILETIME - get the remote time of the retrieved document SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_FILETIME, long *timep); DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the remote time of the retrieved document (in number of seconds since 1 jan 1970 in the GMT/UTC time zone). If you get -1, it can be because of many reasons (it might be unknown, the server might hide it or the server doesn't support the command that tells document time etc) and the time of the document is unknown. Note that you must tell the server to collect this information before the transfer is made, by using the CURLOPT_FILETIME(3) option to curl_easy_setopt(3) or you will unconditionally get a -1 back. PROTOCOLS
HTTP(S), FTP(S), SFTP EXAMPLE
curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, url); /* Ask for filetime */ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FILETIME, 1L); res = curl_easy_perform(curl); if(CURLE_OK == res) { res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_FILETIME, &filetime); if((CURLE_OK == res) && (filetime >= 0)) { time_t file_time = (time_t)filetime; printf("filetime %s: %s", filename, ctime(&file_time)); } } /* always cleanup */ curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.5 RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not. SEE ALSO
curl_easy_getinfo(3), curl_easy_setopt(3), libcurl 7.54.0 April 03, 2017 CURLINFO_FILETIME(3)
All times are GMT -4. The time now is 08:17 PM.
