CFtpClient::GetFileTime Method  
 
INT GetFileTime(
  LPCTSTR lpszFileName,  
  LPSYSTEMTIME lpFileTime,  
  BOOL bLocalize  
);

The GetFileTime method returns the modification time for the specified file on the server.

Parameters

lpszFileName
Points to a string that specifies the name of the remote file.
lpFileTime
Points to a SYSTEMTIME structure that will be set to the current modification time for the remote file.
bLocalize
A boolean flag which specifies if the file time is localized to the current timezone. If this value is non-zero, then the file time is adjusted to that the time is local to the current system. If this value is zero, the file time is returned in UTC time.

Return Value

If the method succeeds, the return value is the server result code. If the method fails, the return value is FTP_ERROR. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The GetFileTime method can be used to determine the date and time that a file was last modified on the server. The time may either be localized to the current system, or it may be returned as UTC time. If you plan on changing the values returned in the SYSTEMTIME structure and then calling SetFileTime method to modify the file time on the server, you should do not localize the time.

This method uses the MDTM command to determine the modification time of the specified file. If the server does not support this command, the method will attempt to use the STAT command to determine the file modification time.
