When using scp, you can give the -p switch that will preserver timestamps. It would be nice if this would be the default behavior for sftp as well. Alternatively, a config file for sftp would be acceptable.
I agree about the importance of the issue. Especially with images and videos. If you lose the timestamp... you might lose it forever. Workaround: copy from command line using the -p parameter (not the -P) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332646 Title: sftp does not set timestamps Status in GVFS: New Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gvfs when copying or moving files to a directory mounted over sftp, the time stamps are not preserved. this affects both hardy and intrepid (in hardy, it was tested with a patched version of nautilus hence that version used to forget timestamps on copy anyway). in both cases, i tested it locally and everything was preserved as it should be. moreover, when moving, nautilus first displays the correct time stamp and only on refreshing shows the wrong updated one. as timestamps can be considered considered important information, i suggest this bug be treated as "losing data without notice".
