Http upload, save the mod/write date?

Question

On my website i can upload files. I then use file[indx].SaveAs(path) to save the file however i notice the modify date is the current date and the creation date is 1second after that. Is there a way i can get the correct modify/write date from the client?

Answer 1

Short answer: No. Not the way you're doing things.

Longer answer: You could... but only with something client-side. You would need something on the users' machines to read that information (ie a Java applet) and send it out-of-band alongside the HTTP upload.
