RE: wput: bug-report

I'm actually on the same server for src and dest, so there shouldn't(??) be any time difference.

In the debug file the timestamp comparisons are as follows:

Correct behavior of not transferring unchanged files:
timestamping: local: 1089809710 seconds; remote 1089809635 seconds; diff: 75
timestamping: local: 1089809710 seconds; remote 1089809635 seconds; diff: 75
timestamping: local: 1089809710 seconds; remote 1089809635 seconds; diff: 75
timestamping: local: 1089809628 seconds; remote 1089809635 seconds; diff: 18446744073709551609
timestamping: local: 1089809628 seconds; remote 1089809635 seconds; diff: 18446744073709551609

Have no idea why the diff on the two files that didn't get transferred is so large. I would have expected it to be 0 or close to it.

Incorrect behavior where unchanged files were transferred:
timestamping: local: 1089810085 seconds; remote 1089809995 seconds; diff: 90
timestamping: local: 1089810085 seconds; remote 1089809995 seconds; diff: 90
timestamping: local: 1089810085 seconds; remote 1089809995 seconds; diff: 90
timestamping: local: 1089810003 seconds; remote 1089809995 seconds; diff: 8
timestamping: local: 1089810003 seconds; remote 1089809995 seconds; diff: 8

Here the two unchanged files have a diff of 8, so I don't understand why they were transferred. 

I'm using a .wputrc file with timedeviation = 30

Any other ideas I can try?

Regards,
Debbie

What I assume currently is that there's only little time-difference between remote files and local ones. Since often different computers have slightly different times, there is a configurable amount of time-deviation in which wput assumes the remote files as "older". Take a look at wputrc and set 
timedeviation to a lower or higher value. Maybe it works, otherwise I'd have 
another look at the debug-outputs.
