You can use: clone-attributes: func [dest src /local modes] [ modes: context get-modes src get-modes src 'file-modes ; workaround for a bug in SET-MODES modes/modification-date: modes/modification-date - 0:00:02 set-modes dest third modes ] You could need the workaround depending on your platform. If you don't need it, the function can be reduced to: clone-attributes: func [dest src] [ set-modes dest get-modes src get-modes src 'file-modes ] (You can't rely too much on modification-date anyway on Windows, as it looks like it just does not have enough precision.)
