mget ftp command options

Hi,

I am using mget ftp command to pull a bunch of zip files from Windows to local unix machines. It is working fine as follows.

-rw------- 1 autosys autosys 614 Aug 19 13:13 02034128.zip
-rw------- 1 autosys autosys 1866 Aug 19 13:13 02034127.zip
-rw------- 1 autosys autosys 14592 Aug 19 13:13 02034120.zip
-rw------- 1 autosys autosys 614 Aug 19 13:13 02034119.zip
-rw------- 1 autosys autosys 614 Aug 19 13:13 02034118.zip
-rw------- 1 autosys autosys 16892121 Aug 19 13:13 02034117.zip

While dropping the files, it creates new date and time stamp (Aug 19 13:13 ) for this zip files in local unix machine. But I want only the original date/time stamp when it was created on Windows machine.

Any help, will be appreacited.

Thanks
Saumya

you can manually change timestamps on files with touch

touch -t YYYYMMDDhhmm

for example to change timestamps of files crazy, crazy1, and crazy2 to dec 25 2037 at 7:45pm, do

touch -t 203712251945 crazy crazy1 crazy2
