I stand corrected. "ls -alc" only reflects the last change of status of the inode (e.g. touch, chmod, chown, mv, etc. etc..). After a "mv" for example it is possible for the "ctime" to be after the "mtime".
So, if absolutely nothing changes the status of the file after the file was created, the "ctime" is the time the file was created.

Hi There,
I was wondering how to manage files (ie. rm, cp , mv) based on date last modified and date created.
ie. Say i want to:
mv ./* ./temp/* (where the date created < 29/1/2006 )
or
mv ./* ./temp/* (where the date modified > 27/1/2006 && date modified < 29/1/2006)
