Nautilus not preserving timestamps (Lucid)

Bug Description

Ubuntu 10.04.2 (Lucid), with latest updates, still uses Nautilus 2.30.1 ..

If attempt to copy files using Nautilus, to another host, the date/time of files are NOT preserved.

This occurred when attempting transferring of user files to a NEW PC (with fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10, w/ Nautilus 2.23.0).

Workaround: Use new PC (with Ubuntu 10.10 & Nautilus 2.32.0) instead, which DOES preserve date/times.

NOTE: This should be fixed for currently supported LTS release (10.04).

IMHO, Bug #215499 was not properly resolved.

IMHO, Bug #319063 should have addressed this, OR been changed to next LTS release (from Intrepid).

This affects ANY attempt to transfer files (using Nautilus 2.30.1) between two hosts with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on both, or from 10.04 LTS to 10.10

I have noted this on a number of occasions, on different hardware at multiples locations. I have worked around this, using backup tools or other methods.

(as noted): This does NOT occur when using Ubuntu 10.10 to transfer from !0.04 LTS .

 This appears to be general for 10.04 LTS

NO, not yet resolved by latest updates to 10.04 LTS

(YES, solved in Ubuntu 10.10 or later, which now use Nautilus 2.23.0 )

mounted with Nautilus, using SSH protocol

My longterm workaround has been to use (VanDyke) SecureFX, either under Linux/Wine or Windows (on another/third host).

Recently started using SecureCRT (Linux) in beta, which does not yet have companion: SecureFX (Linux).
