Any way to stop file date/time from updating on ftp upload?

Post by rbyteme »

recently acquired pro version. right now not too happy with it, have feeling i didn't test enough. after much trial and error, i have it doing 90% of what I want it to do, but seeing problem with file dates. i am uploading HD data backup to my site via ftp. all files are being re-dated to date of upload, and not retaining original file date. i know my site will support using actual dates as i have used other manual transfer ftp software that doesn't have this problem.

this is not a gigantic issue in the big scheme of things, but let us say losing this information irks me. hoping it is me missing a setting, or something else obvious. any help appreciated, many thanks.

Disable MDTM

Under "View" on the menu bar, select "Options". On the list to the list of Global Settings Window that appears, select "Transfers". On the right panel you should see an checkmark box for "Do not use MDTM for date/time", check that box and that should be it.
