What is SITE UTIME all about ?
 

Hi.

What is the idea of MDTM and SITE UTIME ?

I seem to have nothing but problems with those.

This is the response I get from quite a few servers when I try to upload to them (not FXP).

[21:41:19] [L] MDTM 20090414193448 file1.rar
[21:41:19] [L] 550 20090414193448 file1.rar: No such file or directory.
[21:41:19] [L] SITE UTIME file1.rar 20090414193448 20090414193448 20090414193448 UTC
[21:41:19] [L] 500 'SITE UTIME file1.rar 20090414193448 20090414193448 20090414193448 UTC': Command not understood.

Whats the above all about, and what is it needed for ?

The FEAT command and answer looks like this:

[21:35:30] [L] FEAT
[21:35:30] [L] 211- Extensions supported:
[21:35:30] [L] AUTH TLS
[21:35:30] [L] AUTH SSL
[21:35:30] [L] PBSZ
[21:35:30] [L] PROT
[21:35:30] [L] CPSV
[21:35:30] [L] SSCN
[21:35:30] [L] MDTM
[21:35:30] [L] SIZE
[21:35:30] [L] REST STREAM
[21:35:30] [L] SYST
[21:35:30] [L] 211 END

I am running the latest beta build 1337 (it says 1336 when I start it though).

Is the above something that can be disabled, since I don't see what I need it for ?

Thanks in advance.

it's used for accurate timestamping and file-exist rules.

If you don't want to use or have no need for compare by date when performing file transfers this option can be turned off either globally or per site via the file exist options dialog, simply uncheck the options to preserve file date.
