Hello,

I have a zfs Raid Z2 (I think) with 4 Sata drives.
I have all drives in one pool split into many datasets.
All shares are set up as ftp over ssh.
I connect to Freenas dataset from Windows 7 via Swish on port 22.

When I copy files from the Windows Swish directory to the freenas mount, all the files' date fields (date created, date modified etc) are 01/01/1970. Of course this stuffs up an automatic backup system as the dates are all wrong and the source files are always copied even though they haven't changed.

Is there a setting in Freenas or Swish or somewhere else that I need to set to ensure each file's date metadata is accuratly copied?

Thank you for your time.

I've done further research and it seems that some FTP clients force preserve timestamp and other don't.

Is there a way to force Freenas to always preserve timestamp?

Thank you for any assistance as this is buggering up my backup process.
:)
