![]() ![]() However, some SFTP servers do not implement the feature, in which case see point 4 above. SFTP servers only support one way to set a files date & time. With a Fast Backup profile it will not set the date & time of the files on the FTP server, but it will avoid any problems with the dates & times being different. This does not apply to SFTP servers.Ĥ.If the server supports none of the above then there are two options: have SyncBackPro change the date & time of the local files to match the date & time of the file on the FTP server (which will be the date & time the file was transferred to the FTP server), or change the profile to a Fast Backup profile. Many FTP servers support retrieval of a files date & time, but fewer also support setting of a files date & time using MDTM. Note that there are two forms of the MDTM extension: one to get a files date & time, and one to set a files date & time. ![]() SyncBackPro has an advanced FTP engine that will try several methods to set the last modification date & time of files on an FTP server:ġ.If the server supports the MFF or MFMT extensions then those will be used (this does not apply to SFTP servers)Ģ.If the server supports the SITE UTIME extension then that will be used (this does not apply to SFTP servers)ģ.If the server supports the MDTM extension then that will be used. This is not a limitation of SyncBackPro, but of the FTP server. There are also many FTP features which are optional, and one of those optional features is setting the last modification date & time of files on the FTP server. ![]() There are standards for communicating with FTP servers, but not all FTP servers follow those standards, or they implement them incorrectly. However, many older or basic FTP servers simply do not provide the functions to perform this. When SyncBackPro transfers a file to an FTP server it will try and set the last modification date & time of the file so that it matches the date & time of the local file. Touch is far simpler to setup and configure and has none of the compatibility issues that you may get with FTP servers. An alternative to using FTP is SyncBack Touch. ![]()
