Thanks for the tip. Tried that but unfortunately get the same results. It's strange because connecting interactively with lftp does show the correct change date, the mirror command just doesn't seem to care.
lrwxrwxrwx 1 22651 user 22 Dec 6 17:16 ABCD.txt -> ../../current/ABCD.txt (the file we have is from back in August) Looks like I might have to fall back to wget on this one. :( -----Original Message----- From: Alexander V.
