Re: File creation date anomaly using FTP

When creating a new command for DST (http://hkrebs.dk/adkdst.html) I scanned 
the documentation about QUTCOFFSET. I found that
OS/400 uses this to nothing at all, except that it's an attribute of the system 
reported e.g. when sending alerts. Does the ftp
protocol at all care about other attributes than file name (which is needed as 
a part of the 'address')?

Main purpose of QUTCOFFSET is (as I understand it) for user applications.
