Synchronize File Attributes Only

Postby ustuerzlinger on Mon Apr 14, 2014 11:21 pm

Hi!
I have an online storage with more than 1.2 TB. For some of the files the file attributes like creation date, date of last modification etc. have been altered during the upload process (I did use an older version of SuperFlexible and on some occasion other tools to upload).

Now I would like to re-sync these attributes with the original files without uploading hundreds of gigabytes again (and wait for weeks until it is done).

Is that possible and when YES how?


Thanks & br Ulrich

Yes, under Comparison you will find a checkmark "Never Copy, Adjust Timestam Only". This will only be applied if the file sizes are the same.

Hi again!
So I did some tests and These are the results:

1) Adjusting time stamps for files using webdav does not work at all.
2) Adjusting time stamps for files using sFTP works to a certain extend:
a) The entire time stamp is adjusted correctly refering to SFFS BUT
b) The year is not adjusted at all and the seconds are all reset to "00" refering to FileZilla
3) Adjusting time stamps for folders does not work at all.

NOTE: I removed 2c) because the Service Provider resolved that as far as I can judge.

Hello,

of course, WebDAV does not support setting timestamps.

I have nothing to do with bugs in FileZilla. You need to check the dates in the web interface of the cloud storage.

Folder timestamps are not implemented via Internet Protocol. They are meaningless anyway.

Cheers,
Tobias
