Why are some copied files dates now, but not others?
In konqueror, when I copy files via ssh from a remote host to local,
the file's date is the date that the original file was created on the remote host. However, if I then copy the same file from local to a different remote host, the new file's date is today. Why is that? Is this a bug? I'm on Ubuntu 7.04 with KDE 3.5.8.

I would guess that there is an asymetry inherent in using ssh to copy files. When the copy is done to the local filesystem, you can use any system call you want to change that file. When it copies out to the remote system you are stuck with whatever sftp or ssh allows you do to. I would say it is a minor bug. You can file it, but I would be surprised if it got fixed--it may not be fixable. But you never know.
