Modified time of this file in local system is “2009-12-30 2.30pm”. And when this file is uploaded to server at 5.30 pm, after upload, the time stamp of the file uploaded to server is changed to “2009-12-30 5.30 pm” instead of keeping the actual time stamp “2009-12-30 2.30pm”.</p> <p>Following is the part of my java code which stores file to server.<br /> [code]</p> <p>File f = new File(localfilePath);<br /> System.out.println("Storing file as remote filename: " + f.getName());<br /> boolean retValue = <a href="http://ftp.storeFile" rel="nofollow">http://ftp.storeFile</a>(f.getName(), new FileInputStream(f));<br /> if (!retValue) {<br /> throw new Exception ("Storing of remote file failed. <a href="http://ftp.storeFile" rel="nofollow">http://ftp.storeFile</a>()" +<br /> " returned false.");<br /> }</p> <p>[/code]<br /> Does apache commons package contain any methods for setting the time stamp of file uploaded in server?</p> <p>Is any other FTP package available which overcomes the issue stated above?</p> <p>Thanks in advance. </p>
