Can't access the timestamp of remote file using WinSCP

Question

I'm using the WinSCP .NET assembly to programmatically connect to a remote server and get the timestamp (or last update date) of a particular file. I have not been successful in finding a method call.

Answer 1

To get a timestamp of a single file use the LastWriteTime property of the RemoteFileInfo class instance returned by the Session.GetFileInfo:

Console.WriteLine(session.GetFileInfo("/etc/passwd").LastWriteTime)

To get timestamps of all files in a directory, iterate the collection of the RemoteFileInfo instances returned by the Session.ListDirectory:

foreach (RemoteFileInfo fileInfo in session.ListDirectory("/etc").Files)
{
    Console.WriteLine(fileInfo.LastWriteTime);
}
