Yes, it changes things, but not in a good way.

LIST -la public_html/
<snip>
ls: [-rw-r--r--   1 ftp      ftp           365 Mar  5  2004 venus]
ls: file (644, 365): [venus]
<snip>
File: public_html/venus
Getting modtime.

Didn't get modtime.


What's odd is that when I send that command via an ftp client, it works:
quote MDTM "public_html/venus"
213 20040305034502

However, it still doesn't work for files with spaces:
quote MDTM "public_html/jupiter/archives/images/chetamula market.jpg"
550 public_html/jupiter/archives/images/chetamula: No such file or directory

Backslashed is closer:
quote MDTM \"public_html/jupiter/archives/images/chetamula market.jpg\"
550 public_html/jupiter/archives/images/chetamula market.jpg: No such file or directory
