Kermit command and timestamp of file

[Nguyen Anh Tien]

Hi All
I have on rp2570 server. I need to get file from server. If i used FTP, the timestamp of file will correct with the time on server. but if I use kermit -s filename the timestamp will be some day of 2035.
Do you know the reason?
Need your help
Thanks

It might help to know a few more things:

1. I assume that you are getting ("get") or
sending ("-s") a file from one system to
another. What is each system?

2. When you use FTP, which system is the FTP
server, and which is the client?

3. Which FTP client are you using?

4. Which FTP server are you using?

5. What are the exact FTP client commands
which you use?

6. On which system are you running Kermit?

7. Which Kermit version?

8. What are the exact Kermit commands which
you use?

"LAPTOP" is not a very complete system
description. This is some Windows system?

I don't use Kermit much, so I could be wrong
about almost anything, but as I understand
it, "kermit -s" talks to a Kermit server, so
you must have a Kermit server running on your
laptop when you do this. This would mean that
there are two Kermit programs involved here,
one on the HP-UX system, and one on the
"laptop" (whatever that is). Either one
could have a bug, or could be confused about
the time[zone] setting. Knowing nothing
about either Kermit program, it's hard to say
much.

If the Kermit on the HP-UX system is normal
C-Kermit, then I'd expect it to describe
itself if you just run it. For example:

td176> kermit
Executing /usr/share/lib/kermit/ckermit.ini for UNIX...
Good Morning!
C-Kermit 8.0.200, 12 Dec 2001, for HP-UX 11.00
[...]

You could try a more interactive Kermit
session, perhaps specifying LOG DEBUG (or
some other LOG function) which might be
informative. If you get desperate:
