    FTP7 and MDTM command

    Last week I configured  FTP7 on a 2008 Web Edition Server and all seemed fine.  My implementation even has 2 seperate Sites defined to the same data store.  1 site uses User Isolation and Authorization for an AD group for Customers and a 2nd site uses a standard Root directory and Authorization for an AD group for Employees.  I had hoped that the Host Name feature would work for me, but it seems to still be a work around, so I used a different method.

    It apears that FTP7 supports MDTM to allow changing the Time Stamp of a file once it is uploaded.  I found this out after several hours of confusion when an employee using CoreFTP uploaded a file to the new site.  Information about this command seems thin, but from what I have read it seems to be to be called out as (Modified Date TiMe).

    I think that changing Modified time makes alot of sence so one can track file update history, but what I am seeing is that the "Date Created" is also getting changed by the command.  This doesn't make sence and will certainly screw with my scripts to delete old files.

     Has anyone else seen this?  Did I miss a setting somewhere? Is this an oversight in FTP7?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Yes, MDTM does change the date created too.

    Could you help us better understand how you are trying to use FTP? you mentioned that the host name feature did not work for you - could you elaborate on what problem/situation you are trying to solve and the reason the host name isnt working?

     We'll try to use the above information to see if we can recommend a reasonable workaround for you.

     Thanks,
