title: File modified date/time changes when uploaded via FTP
body: <p>FTP/PHP question here. On one of my pages I load .txt files from a directory. Pretty simple. I also display the modified date of the text file using this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>date('m/d/Y', filemtime($file));
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works fine on my WAMP server but when I upload the files via FTP, the modified date is changed to when they were uploaded. I'm currently hosting on a free hosting provider (freehostia to be exact). Is there any way to keep the modified date/time from changing when it's uploaded? Or is there perhaps an alternative way to go about this? Any ideas are appreciated.</p>
