FYI: datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(mod_time)
Is probably what I was looking for. However, for my
purposes - I'm going to take another approach.
Every uploaded file is defined in an object stored on my
workstationr:
I will store the MDTM string after upload and then on the next
upload, compare the stored string with the return value
from ftp.sendcmd('MDTM ' + filename)
Thanks for the input.
