hi,
didnt we discuss this earlier the year?

3 possible ways:

a) tell the clients not to use (not to enable) the mdtm-command on their
ftp-clients

b) use a ftp-server which doesnt understand the mdtm-command.  many
ftp-servers dont understand it... once ago i had the opposite problem to
find ftp-servers (ftp-server-software) which understand the mdtm-command.
because the origin file-creation-time was needed on the servers, not the
transfer-time. how should i do a "sync" otherwise and only transfer the new
files ?

c) if your ftp-server understands the mdtm-command, there should be a switch
to disable it.

it's your turn now:
which solution do you prefer?

Betreff: [WS_FTP Forum] how to disable mdtm command?


Does anyone know how to disable computers from sending the MDTM command so
that it won't change the timestamp of the files on the server?

Our problem is that customers upload date sensitive images, and their
clients are changing the file create dates to the dates on their computer
and we want the files to always have the create date it was placed on the
server.

I can see in the ftp logs that they are using the mdtm command from their
client to change the timestamp.. and I cannot find a way to disable this
within the software.

Below is a snippet of our logs that shows what this command looks like in
action:
1001 08:00:25 (0001f784) ftp.domain.com D(0) 208.31.104.38 joeuser MDTM
20041001123840 data.csv
