Incorrect st_mtime of folder

[dylanlogann]

Hi,

I am using Python to see how long a folder has been in my SFTP for, we have another process that parses the documents in these folders and deletes them, however if it fails to parse a single document or more, the folder won't be deleted.

So I am trying to create a report based on this statistic, and I am using .stat(folder path).st_mtime to get the modified time of the folder, however this returns a timestamp of: 2416060652, which if you translate, becomes: 2046-07-24 16:57:32

This time is the same for every folder in the SFTP (and I know they're all different)

The time on the SFTP server is correct, and the time on filezilla is showing correct.

Can anyone please help me understand why I am getting an incorrect (& constant) timestamp?

Cheers.

Code:

import os, sys, paramiko
from datetime import datetime

sys.path.insert(0, 'Utils')
import ReportUtils

sftpConnection = ReportUtils.__connectSFTP()

EDM = 'EDM'

sftpFolders = ReportUtils.getSFTPContents(EDM)

for sftpFolder in sftpFolders:
    sftpFolderPath = '/%s/%s' % (EDM, sftpFolder)
    sftpFolderAdded = sftpConnection.stat(sftpFolderPath).st_mtime
    print sftpFolderPath, sftpFolderAdded, datetime.fromtimestamp(sftpFolderAdded)

Output:
