ftp: displaying real filetimes in older files

[tc700_user]

In the Knowledge Base of Serv-U ftp server can be read this (Article 1180):

---------------------------

File Times are Being Displayed as 00:00 or are Non-existent

Dates being displayed as 00:00 is a function of UNIX directory listings. Serv-U (like most Windows FTP servers) list directories in the same way as UNIX. A UNIX directory listing won't show the time stamp of the file if the file is greater than 6 months old. Some Windows servers mistakenly disregard the time stamp when the year changes.

Most FTP clients don't take advantage of some Serv-U extensions modeled after BSD UNIX. The "-T" LIST (LIST -T) parameter.

...

Add "-T" in the "Extra LIST parameters" field (do not add the quotes).

NOTE: some servers will not accept the "-T" parameter and can fail directory listings. If that is the case, remove the parameter specified above.

---------------------------

Perhaps it's a good idea to add this function in TC, and so allow to list the files with their real/original time (not 00:00).

Thank you.

Total Commander will automatically send LIST -lT or LIST -laT when the server reports that it supports it (in the FEAT command). For example RaidenFTPd does report it, but Serv-U apparently not.
