How to retain date stamp while copying to another PC

  • 772

Similarly to How to maintain a file's 'last modified' date ? I need to retain the date while copying the file by Krusader or in a 'Home Folder' window to another PC connected by SSH. Is it possible?

  1. You can do this with the -p option to scp. As explained in man scp:

     -p      Preserves modification times, access times, and modes from the
         original file.

    So, just run

    scp source_file user@host:/remote/path/file
