Allow MDTM to change file time (FTP only)

Allows to use the MDTM command to change file time. The syntax of MDTM to set file timestamp is as follows:

MDTM [YYYYMMDDHHMMSS] pathname, where the time value is composed of

  • YYYY: the four-digit year, with a range of 1000--9999
  • MM: the two-digit month, with a range of 01--12
  • DD: the two-digit day of the month, with a range of 01--31
  • HH: the two-digit hours of the day, with a range of 00--23
  • MM: the two-digit minutes past the hour, with a range of 00--59
  • SS: the two-digit seconds past the minute, with a range of 00--59

If the time value is omitted, the command becomes a GET function, i.e., it returns the timestamp of the given pathname in format YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
