User’s GuideWS_FTP Pro•In the Explorer interface, select WS_FTP Pro Explorer Properties from the File menu. You see the Preferences tab.2 Turn Preserve file time on transfer... on or off.Important Note about UploadsIf you turn on Preserve file time on transfer..., WS_FTP Pro will always preserve the date on downloads. However, it will only attempt to preserve the date and time on uploads, because many FTP sites do not support this feature.If the preservation of file date and time is not supported by the FTP site, you will get an “MDTM” error when you upload files to the site. Note, however, that the files will transfer correctly with updated timestamps from the FTP site. (The “MDTM” error is not serious, even though it displays in red.)Transferring Only Newer Files (Classic Interface Only)When you transfer a folder to a location where a folder with the same name already exists, you can make sure WS_FTP Pro does not overwrite a file that has the same or a newer date. To do this, you set WS_FTP Pro to transfer only files having newer dates and times than the files in the folder to which you are transferring.To set whether or not WS_FTP Pro transfers only newer files:1 If you are in the “Connection” dialog box, close it.2 Select Options from the View menu.3 Click the Pro tab.4 Turn Don't transfer older or same files during folder transfers on or off.Adjusting for a Different Time ZoneYou can have WS_FTP Pro adjust the display of file dates and times on an FTP site so they represent the times and dates in your time zone. For example, if an FTP site is in a time zone three hours earlier than your time zone, you can adjust a date and time of 11/10/2000 1:00 AM to 11/9/2000 10:00 PM.
