Hi, I am trying to figure out this strange time stamp behavior with zip files. Our organization receives some files in zip format.We process based on the date modified on the file and I want to keep it the same as when it comes to us. We get the files into our ftp server then we ftp them over to our app server. The zip files along with some other files are jarred up using the jar command into a jar file then ftp'd over to the app server and then I use Winrar to extract everything from the jar file. Originally all the files in the jar file would get re-timestamped to the current time because we were using the jar command to extract. I found using Winrar instead was much better, it kept the original time stamp. The only problem is it keeps the original time stamps for all the files except for the first zip file it extracts. I might add this is all done using the command line interface. So if there is say 4 zip files, the first one extracted somehow ends up with the current time and the rest stay with their original timestamp. So I guess I'm stumped as to why it only happens for zip files and not for say text files and why only the first zip file that gets extracted? Thank you for reading
