thanks for the swift reply but .....

I understand that this will get me the datestamp for the file on the server,
but what I am unsure of is how to make my writecallback (which uses
'fwrite() to dump the file to the client disk) change the timestamp of the
file to that of 'filetime'.

I take it that all file transfers must use a writecallback to 'write' the
file to disk. Is there a command (on Windows) to alter the datestamp of a
'freshly' written file???

I know I am labouring the point here but at the moment I just don;t get it?
