File creation/modification times attributes (mtime) are not preserved when copying from FTP or NextCloud (webdav / davs) - works fine in SFTP
Basically a fork of #346 (closed) (as suggested), related to #46. Although 346 was reportedly fixed, I'm still seeing the issue on Fedora 35 (GNOME 41 with gvfs 1.48.2).
- Doesn't work with FTP: copying/moving files & folders to/from a FTP daemon running on an Android/LineageOS phone (using Material Files's built-in FTP server feature) to/from my local folder using Nautilus, it doesn't preserve the timestamps. In comparison, FileZilla successfully preserves the timestamps when copying files from that same FTP server to the local filesystem.
- Doesn't work with webdav: the issue also occurs when copying to/from a NextCloud davs:// thingy provided by the GNOME Online Accounts daemon to Nautilus
- SFTP doesn't seem affected, surprisingly.
Besides me needing to preserve mtime attributes when doing web deployments (or small backups), this is also pretty important for the usecase of dealing with my phone's FTP server (which is used to rapidly offload tons of photos/recordings/etc. because MTP is hopelessly slow as a protocol) without losing the important metadata that is file modification time, as I use it to rename the files (they don't necessarily have EXIF information, especially videos).
