! Just upgraded to DW CS3 on OS 10.4.11.

I've read through some old posts on synchronization and couldn't find an
answer to my problem, which is that DW is changing the file modified date on
our remote server to the upload time and day instead of keeping the actual
modified date of the local file. I don't want this to happen. Can someone tell
me if there is a setting or preference to keep the local file assets intact?

I have turned off synchronize and cache options in the site definitions and it
doesn't seem to . When I leave synchronize checked DW says local files
haven't been modified in over 2 years! !

Is the local time on the webserver correct?

Are you or someone else using some other software to access/upload files to
this hosting?

We host our own site but I am just the front-end person maintaining the site
content. Earlier I spoke with our tech guy who maintains the back-end and who
installed the upgrade for my Mac, and he did not know why the times would be
different either.

He was busy with another problem so I cannot find out if the local time on the
server is true or not, but I'm guessing it is correct because DW is changing
all the files I upload to the time and day of the upload.

We had this problem before when I went from 8 to MX and I think it was a
setting problem but I can't find anything in preferences to fix it. Sure is
frustrating. I am 99% the only content manager but occasionally the tech guy
will change a file and the only way I can tell that is to check the remote info
but now it's different than my local file so I don't know which is right.
Ughhh!!!

This is how DW works. It has ALWAYS changed the timestamp to correspond to
the GMT setting on the server. I don't think you can prevent that.
