Re: [issue1741] File creation bug (?)

[Robin Carey <robin.carey1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was using ftp.

But even if the ftp program was copying the original timestamp, it didn't get the time right; the date would have been right.

   It depends on what you are using to retrieve the file.  Some programs
   are going to copy the timestamp the original file had.
