在C＃中获取服务器文件的创建时间

Question

Hi I want to create an application that connect to my host and check if any new file added in the the directories. so I need the creation time of that host file but i could not connect to the server. I just find some code for creation time of server files but i don't know why they don't work some how. any suggestion?

this is the code:

        string path = "http://neginmelk.ir/app_test\t2/mine.txt";
        if (!File.Exists(path)) 
        {
            File.Create(path);
        } 
        else 
        {
            // Take an action that will affect the write time.
            File.SetLastWriteTime(path, new DateTime(1985,4,3));
        }

        // Get the creation time of a well-known directory.
        DateTime dt = File.GetLastWriteTime(path);
        Console.WriteLine("The last write time for this file was {0}.", dt);

        // Update the last write time.
        File.SetLastWriteTime(path, DateTime.Now);
        dt = File.GetLastWriteTime(path);
        Console.WriteLine("The last write time for this file was {0}.", dt);

First I see you have an http:// on your path, do you want to get the metadata of remote files?

You need to run this code on the server side, and then expose that data by GET API / web service

To get the creation time of a file / directory.

System.IO.File.GetCreationTime('path_to_the_file');

path_to_the_file must be local.
