Question

I am able to copy a file in node.js using the following:

            var readStream = fs.createReadStream(fromFilePath);
            readStream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(toFilePath));

The question is how to also copy/keep the modified time (mtime) like in a regular file copy command.

Answer 1

There are methods in the fs module to access mtime:

var stat = fs.statSync(fromFilePath);
fs.utimesSync(toFilePath, stat.atime, stat.mtime)
