FileZilla Forums

Hey guys! I work for a private investigator and we are trying to set up FileZilla for Mac as opposed to our old windows operating system. The investigators send in their videos and I use FileZilla to move the files to my computer. The problem is that when I do this on the Mac operating system, it doesn't tell me the date and time the video was shot, like it does on Windows. I tried clicking the "preserve timestamps of transferred files" but it is only showing me the data the file was originally uploaded - not when the video was shot. I'm not sure if I am missing a step or what, but someone please help me i'm about to rip my hair out!!!!

How is the metadata stored? If we speak of EXIF data, it is stored within the file, and you should be able to find a software that can display EXIF data on the Mac.

Note that external metadata, alternate streams and resource forks are NOT transferred over FTP/SFTP. In that case they would have to use a file packer that includes such type of data.
