determining if there is a difference between a current date and time according to a transmitting server and a current date
and time according to a receiving server;
transmitting a file from the transmitting server to the receiving server;
transmitting a timestamp attribute associated with the file from the transmitting server to the receiving server; and
modifying the timestamp attribute to account for the difference in date and time between the transmitting server and the receiving
server so that the timestamp attribute is accurate relative to the current date and time according to the receiving server.
