10554 FTP: Failure of Preserve timestamps

[chrisjj]

Despite

my uploads to FTP server (Version: Mac OS X Server 10.3.9 003 - +GSSAPI) do not preserve "Modified". Any ideas?

Hello Chrisjj,

Are you running into this issue:

Are you able to manually Touch the files after transfer?

I'll try "enable the Touch local files when copying to an FTP site option".

No - I have no shell access.

Chris,

Aaron was referring to the "Actions > Touch" command in BC. If this command returns with an error like "Operation not supported", then the FTP server doesn't support the command needed for BC to preserve timestamps.

OIC - thanks.

Touch fails with

Unable to set last modified time ... Container does not support requested file operation

or

Unable to set last modified time of ... No such file or directory.

(surprisingly, since this immediately follows a Refresh).
