Getting Correct Creation Time

[JohnVogel]

Now that I'm back near my windows machine, I can't reproduce this. I'm getting the same value for ctime as I do in explorer for creation time.

The dates are the same as seen in the command prompt with dir /t:c (create time) and dir /t:w (write time).

Is your file on a regular NTFS volume, or maybe it's a thumb drive that only has a FAT filesystem?

It's data that was originally created on an iPhone... copied to an external HD... and now copied from THERE to a Windows 10 laptop HD.

I haven't used "str(datetime.fromtimestamp(os.path.getctime("jsony.py")))" before. That might be the key to solving my issue.

Thanks for the help!
