preserving the timestamp of a file when copied from remote server to local server using ftp
Hi,

I need to copy few files from remote server to local server.
I write a shell script to connect to the remote server using ftp and go to that path. Now i need to copy those files in the remote directory to my local server with the timestamp of all those files shouldnt be changed.

Code:
 
ftp -nvi svag1017 << EOD
user username passwd
bin
cd /users/users-03/p494856/learning
mget file1 file2 file3 
close
bye
EOD

when i run this, all the files are copied to the local server but the timestamp shows the time, when these files were copied. But i need these files with the timestamp same as in the remote server.


Could someone help me to solve this?

Regards
Arun

dblink_connect_u

DBLINK_CONNECT_U(3)					  PostgreSQL 9.2.7 Documentation				       DBLINK_CONNECT_U(3)

NAME

       dblink_connect_u - opens a persistent connection to a remote database, insecurely

SYNOPSIS

       dblink_connect_u(text connstr) returns text
       dblink_connect_u(text connname, text connstr) returns text

DESCRIPTION

       dblink_connect_u() is identical to dblink_connect(), except that it will allow non-superusers to connect using any authentication method.

       If the remote server selects an authentication method that does not involve a password, then impersonation and subsequent escalation of
       privileges can occur, because the session will appear to have originated from the user as which the local PostgreSQL server runs. Also,
       even if the remote server does demand a password, it is possible for the password to be supplied from the server environment, such as a
       ~/.pgpass file belonging to the server's user. This opens not only a risk of impersonation, but the possibility of exposing a password to
       an untrustworthy remote server. Therefore, dblink_connect_u() is initially installed with all privileges revoked from PUBLIC, making it
       un-callable except by superusers. In some situations it may be appropriate to grant EXECUTE permission for dblink_connect_u() to specific
       users who are considered trustworthy, but this should be done with care. It is also recommended that any ~/.pgpass file belonging to the
       server's user not contain any records specifying a wildcard host name.

       For further details see dblink_connect().
