Finetuning Synchronizer for FTP operations

Post by *brahman »

I have noticed that when synching over FTP TC quite nicely adjusts for around 2 seconds time differences and also for files showing midnight times on FTP and different times on local.

Many synching apps (specifically rsynch which is several times faster than Ftp synching) set seconds to 00.

It would be nice if TC's synchronizer could also adjust for 59 seconds time difference and make files equal within this tolerance.

Regards,

Brahman

That's probably because of the special Unix timestamp form:
Feb 2 2006
Aug 7 06:40
which returns the time only when the file is quite new.

TC looks in the answer to the FEAT command whether the server supports LIST -laT, and then uses that. It returns this format:
Dec 25 17:35:58 2008

As you can see, it returns an accurate time even when the year is shown.

I will add your suggestion to my wish list.
