I'm transferring some very large file trees (from CD and HD) to Bubba|2 (from Windows XP). Copying fails at random points because some of the files are unreadable.

So I switched to ftp which doesn't abort when this happens!

However, my client says that it can only preserve dates on uploaded files if the server (i.e. Bubba|2) supports the "MFMT" command, which apparently it doesn't because everything is time-stamped 'now'.

Is my ftp client right? Or do any of you have a way of ftp'ing files to Bubba|2 (via WAN or LAN) that preserves the file's original time-stamp?

Thanks,

Mark

Prolly best to use rsync - that should preserve dates.
