Returns the modification date and time for specified file on the
remote server.
Syntax
object.GetFileTime( RemoteFile,
FileDate )
Remarks
The GetFileTime method returns the modification date and
time for the specified file on the remote server. The following
arguments may be passed to this method:
- RemoteFile
- A string that specifies the name of the file on the server. The
filename cannot contain any wildcard characters and must follow the
naming conventions of the operating system the server is hosted
on.
- FileDate
- A variable that will be set to the date and time that the file
was last modified. The variable's data type may either be a
Variant, String or Date.
This method uses the MTDM command to determine the modification
time for the file. If the server does not support this command, the
function will attempt to use the STAT command to determine the file
modification time. You can use the Features property to
determine what features are available and/or enabled on the
server.
The Localize property will determine if the returned file
time is adjusted for the local timezone.
Return Value
A value of zero is returned if the operation was successful,
otherwise a non-zero error code is returned which indicates the
cause of the failure.
Example
The following example demonstrates how to retrieve the size a
file on the server:
Dim dateFileTime As Date
nError = FtpClient1.GetFileTime(strFileName, dateFileTime)
If nError <> 0 Then
MsgBox FtpClient1.LastErrorString, vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
MsgBox strFileName & " was modified on " & dateFileTime
