Preserve Original File Date on downloads

#1 Post by Bijoux » 2021-10-23 14:53

I am trying to download a copy of my website onto my local computer and want the actual file dates modified to appear. But when I download the website it lists the date modified as today/the day I do the transfer.

I used to be able to download copies of the site so I could maintain a series of archives with actual file dates on them.

Is there a way to do this or is this a feature that no longer exists in the program.

Enable the "Preserve timestamps of transferred files" option from the Transfer menu.
