Can you tell me more about it.Do you have any "SITE OPTIONS" box like we have it in WSFTP.
If yes,
go to "SESSION"
try checking the boxes beside
--Preserve filetime on upload
(MDTM support required)
and
--Preserve filetime on download

in other words

To presever the filetime stamp on either uploads or downloads:
From the Connect Site Manager select edit for the corresponding site and go to "Transfer" and check the box for " Preserve filetime on upload...." and/or "Preserve filetime on downloads".
