I need to get file dates from files in a folder via FTP. The DIR shows only MMM dd and time. Any way to get YY

Question

I need to replace files that I upload via FTP when newer files are available. My DIR to disk shows only information like SEP 29 15:45 filename. Is there a way to retrieve the full file date?

Answer 1

To get help with any command, type the command name followed by a space then "/?" like this:

dir /?

As you can see from the help file, the "/T" switch controls which time field is used for sorting.

It appears you can also use the "timefield" specification followed by a "C" switch for creation of the date.
