FTP transfer compare directories not working

Post by *Laszlo »

So I have an ftp server with filezilla. I tried downloading files with total commander. After transfering files I used shift+f2 (so compare directories) and the transferred files are marked, so total commander thinks they are not the same files.

I tried winscp. After downloading the new files with winscp, Total Commander not marked them with shift+f2, so Total Commander "knew" the files are the same.

My understanding is that transferring files with Total Commander gives the files NEW datetime, instead using the original ones. So because the new file name is the same but the date is not, Total Commander thinks that file is a different file, but it is not.

Can you please fix this?

Did you enable (check) "Preserve file dates" on "Download" dialog window?
