Re: WinSCP having timestamp issues with get or synchronize

Thanks for your report.

Can you send me an email, so I can send you back a debug version of WinSCP to track the problem? Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have sent the email. Thanks.

WinSCP having timestamp issues with get or synchronize

Hi,
So am pretty sure the server side might have an issue when it comes to time stamps which fucks with command line tools. We do not control the server. I haven't found a tool yet who can keep the modified dates from the files on that server.

As you can see in the log below, winscp read the proper file timestamps. But then it goes and tries to preserve the time and it gets an 1899 timestamps which messes up everything.

Is there a way to get winscp to use the timestamp that is after the file? At the moment, either it preserves the timestamp and fails, or it uses the time at which it downloaded the file.

So here is the info:
WinSCP Version 5.5.6 (Build 4746) (OS 6.3.9600 - Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter)
And the log from a file transfer: (and yes the % are part of the filename)
