Look at the 'Use MDTM to set server dates' checkbox in the Advanced Options tab of the Bookmark editor window. Not all servers support this feature, so this is why it is an option and off by default. Let's hope it works on your server

BINGO! Jason, you rock. If this was somewhere in the docs man I sure missed it. Now I'm really, *really* happy with the purchase.

...and...ahem... I suppose I did state the issue like a clueless marketing droid, which I'm NOT! 

Thank you for your email today, Jason. Rather than bother you there I thought I'd post reply here.

Silly me, I thought that would allow the server dates to match the *real* modification dates, but I found this in the wiki:

Maintain modification dates of transferred files
This option works slightly differently for SFTP and FTP, but its purpose is to set the date of downloaded items to be the same as those on the server, and to set the date of uploaded items to be the same as those on your Mac. With FTP, only the download option can be reliably set and Yummy FTP will not attempt to set the server files dates.

I'm quite rusty with FTP at all, so that must be the way FTP has always worked.

But the good news is, I purchased anyway! 

It's such a rewarding user experience that I had no other choice, thanks again for great work.

Thanks for the speedy feedback, Jason. As long as I know it's not me I'll just wait unless it really starts to drive me crazy. I *really* appreciate your craftsmanship on YFTP.

Greetings, first post to the forum.

Before I begin, want to say that I am blown away by the elegance of your creation. It really is a Lexus compared to the other guys.

You guys should hire out to other companies to enhance their entire user experience... I don't want to use any 'normal' apps, I just want to sit here and transfer files back and forth it's so sweet! 

But concerning this issue, it seems that I have the same problem. I've fiddled with the time zone and 'validate suspect file datestamps', and nothing seems to jive.

If I fiddle with the time zone settings, (which are a little unclear) I can make *older* files match correctly, but any new ones added to that directory reflect the date/time that the transfer actually took place, not the original file mod date.

Any clues for the yummy noob?

(and unless something very strange happens in the next couple of days, you can count on my $$s, fer sure)
