When files are transferred from unix to windows the date of the files in the
windows explorer is wrong i.e. 26-10-2004 instead of 26-10-2005 for a file
that is transferred today

Any patch to fix it?
 
Hi TK,
Not to be facecious but,
The Windows Explorer can display the File Date, the Modified Date or the
Last Accessed Date.
Which date is wrong?
Right click on the file list title bar to display the list of columns to
display.
 
The Modified Date is wrong.
For Example, I create a file in Unix ftp server today.(24/Nov/2005).
then, I use IE 6 to ftp to Unix ftp server. The Modified date show
24/Nov/2004.
why the year is different from create day?
 
Is the server date correct? The file is "Created" on the server using the
server's date in some cases.

Hi,

Unix Server date is correct.
I check that after 24 hrs the created date show in IE will become correct.
I think IE maybe get wrong year from Unix server.
Any idea?
 
Not really - I remember reading that somewhere but cannot remember where at
this time.

Have you tried creating a file on one machine and then looking at the server
from another machine - maybe a different OS or browser? Does this apply to
all file types or just programs?

Can you use the ftp command line client instead
and get some clues from its commands?
Notice that that way you would have a clearer idea
of the origin or the information.


Good luck

Hi,

I can sure that IE cannot get the year field from UNIX server when using IE
as FTP Client. Any fix tools or idea for using IE with UNIX ftp server?
I don't want to install other FTP Client.

Thank you!

You don't have to "install" anything.
Just use what is already present in your OS as a diagnostic tool.
Open a cmd window and enter ftp
Then type ?
Etc.
