WinSCP and file times: old files show as 00:00 time
I am testing WinSCP 4.2.9.938 to copy or move the content of some remote FreeBSD FTP server directories to the local Windows (2008 or 7) system.
New files copy fine, whereas old files copy with the correct date, and a time of 00:00. So the time information is lost. It's not even displayed in the Changed column (which only shows the date). I read that this is common with some servers, and that a special parameter may be needed (e.g. to do LIST -T) to get the correct time on files older than 6 months.
How can I do this with WinSCP?
Thanks!
