I have used Net::FTP for ftp coding in my script.
my problem is related to file modification time. I use $remote_date=$ftp->mdtm($remote_file); #get remote_file to local disk $ftp->get($remote_file); #and then set its date to that of remote file's date utime $remote_date,$remote_date,$remote_file please note that in the 2nd statement $remote_file is now stored as locally hence here(in 2nd statement)the name $remote_file actually refers to the downloaded copy of the remote file. So my purpose is to download the file and set its modification time to that of remote file. The problem is that taken the complete epoch number that $ftp->mdtm() returns ; the last digit seems to be increased by 1 in local epoch number ; this I came to know when I checked the number returned by (stat $filename)[9] function. So why there is difference of 1 number between these 2 digits? I am calling utime function after $ftp->get() function ; so that means I change modification date after that file has been created locally(or say downloaded). I want the dates to be exactly same for local and remote copy. I would have programmatically increased the number by 1 ; but that assumption I dont think is safe. So how to overcome this problem?
