In Data Manager, I get check if a file exists on the server. Is there a way to retrieve the last modified date/time for the file?

I'm not aware of a way directly. If you could figure out how to do it from the command line, you could in theory write a batch file or shell script to populate an environment varaible with the date/time, then read this from within DM? Not sure if it's possible, though.

Meep!

Interesting suggestion.
How do you read an environment variable in Data Manager?
