I just
tried it from Win2K and from WinXP and the XCOPY maintained the original date
stamp of the files that were copied from another machine.

Subject: File Creation DatesHello All,I have the need to transfer a large amount of data from one server to another. The sourcesystem is NT3.51 and the destination is Win2K. I am attempting to transfer these filesacross the network. My problem is that I need to maintain the file creation date on eachfile. I might also add that these files where created over several years of usage.Does anyone know of a utility or a switch that would allow for this?
