sorry to bother you again!! I still didn`t get it. Maybe I didn`t make my self clear. I have a old_FTP server and the data is about 4G. I also have a copy for those datas. Now I have to make a mirror site for the old_FTP site with the copy. So My plan is to build a new FTP server and put the copy in it. But the file time of those data is diferent from the old_FTP server. If I use rsync as the mirror solution. How I do to skip the first_time_transfer. I don`t want the 4 Gigabytes of data transfer over internet. Can I use the touch commend to adjust the file_modify_time, to make both of old_FTP_files and the copy_FTP_files become identical, to skip the first_time_transfer.
And I am really sorry to bother you again. Thanks in advanced.
