Directory Creation Date.

Taulant Shamo — Wed, 24 Aug 2005 08:23:15 GMT

Hello,

Some one pretends that he has created one directory today, but I'm sure that directory was created before by me.

How can I check which date that directory is created. Because in that directory are transferred many files and the time stamp with "ll" comand is changed (modified) to last file transferred.

Thank you

From what I remember, there is no creation date stored for files or directories.

There is no creation time in unix that is stored. Unless the file is changes (ctime), ctime is creation time. But once file is changed, you can not know creation time.

You could check your backup:

For example if he claims it was created yesterday, check the backup from the day before.

Cheers
