cozsftp client 1.8.0 seems to ignore -p or -P (preserve)

Hello, I do not seem to be able to preserve the file timestamp on the get command.

get -p <filename>

cozsftp seems just to ignore the _preserve_ option, both -p and -P, while IBM sftp honores it, just as the linux version of opensssh:sftp v5.5 also accepts it.

Additional question: should it be possible, for compatibility reasons, to add command 'ascii' as an alias to 'mode=text' ?

TIA and best regards
Jenoe

Jeno,

Are you referring to the Co:Z sftp client or the server?

Hello, sorry for the late answer.
It is the Co:Z sftp client.

Jeno,

Thanks. I was able to reproduce the problem with "-p"... we'll look into this further, but there appears to be a bug.

Re: "ascii" and "binary" aliases. See this post for more information:
