Setting modification time on remote file

Question

Hi,

Is it possible to set the modification time of a remote file with SFTP in edtFTPj/PRO? I've looked through the docs included with the version we purchased (1.5.4) and at the API itself, but I'm not seeing anything obvious as to how this might be achieved. I know this is defined in the SFTP spec, so theoretically this should possible.

Thanks,
Kevin

Answer 1

We will add a setModTime() method for the next release.

There probably won't be a 1.5.8 (current is 1.5.7), as we are working on the 2.0 release, which has major feature enhancements such as asynchronous methods and connection pooling. End of May expected release, but if you email support we'll send you a pre-release version earlier with setModTime().

We have emailed you twice on this issue - please check your junk mail folders in case the responses have been sent there.

In the first email:

"We'll get the pre-release update to you as soon as it's complete and tested - by the end of next week. It won't be easy to apply to the source, as it involves quite a few changes in various places.

XXXXX purchased Lifetime Updates/Support, which is valid for the lifetime of the product - so no need to extend support, it won't expire."

In the second email we sent you a link to download the pre-release version of 1.5.8 with this enhancement.
