hi,

i have the need to download files from ftp and archive them locally. I want to arrange them by their ftp's last modified date time, a new directory for each YYYYMMDD.

I'm trying to read that attribute, but no luck.

That's what im doing, file download works fine but i cannot retrieve modifieddatetime attribute (lastModifiedDateTime variable gets an empty value in the end...):

System.Object ftpo;

System.Object               ftpResponse;
System.Net.FtpWebRequest    request;
System.IO.Stream            responseStream;
System.Net.FtpWebResponse   response;
utcDateTime                 lastModifiedDateTime;

...

//ftp login operations...

...

request.set_Method("RETR");
request.set_Proxy( System.Net.GlobalProxySelection::GetEmptyWebProxy() );
ftpResponse = request.GetResponse();
response = ftpResponse;
responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();

lastModifiedDateTime = response.get_LastModified();

Solved: i had to use the MDTM ftp command instead of RETR.

and then reponse.get_LastModified() method. The return value can be casted into utcDateTime data type.
