copy a file - keep the timestamp

[buxtonicer1]

Is there a way to cp files from one folder to another but keeping the same time associated with the file, i.e. the time the files were created.

man cpio
man tar
man touch

Hope This Helps, PH.

Use the -p option to cp to preserve all details.

I don't mind people who aren't what they seem. I just wish they'd make their mind up.
