How to get FTP file's modify time using Python ftplib

Question

I\'m trying to load a CSV file to Amazon S3 with Python. I need to know CSV file\'s modification time. I\'m using ftplib to connect FTP with Python (2.7).

Answer 1

When I want to change the file modification time, I use an FTP client on the console. Log on to a remote FTP ftp ftp.dic.com

• cd commands go to the correct directory
• SITE command to move the extended command mode
• UTIME somefile.txt 20050101123000 20050101123000 20050101123000 UTC

change the access time, modification time, it's time to create a directory on 2005-01-01 12:30:00 somefile.txt

Complete example:

site UTIME somefile.txt 20150331122000 20150331122000 20150331122000 UTC

Please feel free to sit back and wish you a pleasant journey in time :)
