A question about "Timestamp" and "Created Time"

Tags:

Hi, I have a FTP server that is outside my company and the users on my
network (inside the company) must put their files at this FTP vwith
the help of a NFS mounted directory that I shared with SAMBA.

But when anyone puts a file in there, or even if I transfer the file
using SFTP, the "Created Time" attribute changes to the current date.

And when anyone puts a file via FTP, the "Created Time" changes too.

Does anybody knows how can I keep it to original??

Thanks

linux and unix filesystems do not support "created time". They are emulated
using the "last-modified" timestamp.

Yeap, anyways...the "Last Modified" is in the current date too, any ideas?

This solution may be quite lame and difficult to implement but you could use
extended attributes on some filesystems. See package attr and man pages for
mount.

if you modify a file, the 'last modified' time is set to actual time. You
would need extension that will change the time to the one client provides.
Note that basic FTP protocol does not support time changes. Maybe there's an
FTP extension (I'm not sure) but the client and server both will have to
support it.

Always upload files as zip or tar files. When the files are extracted
they will have the original timestamps.
