The following statement in FTP to extract the date and time stamp does not include the time. How can I make it show both the date and time:
B4X: 
DateTime.Date(Files(i).Timestamp)   'shows 10/05/2012
I tried:
B4X: 
DateTime.Time(Files(i).Timestamp) 'this shows the time as: 00:00:00.
Thank you

@Erel: I would like to convert the server file date to ticks or datetime.ticksperhour, but the conversion does not include the time. It converts to the ticks as of 0 hr am (midnight) of the file date:
The quesion is: How do you get the ticks equivalent of a file on the server with a date of say: 10/7/2012 and time of 7:30 AM
I am trying to use the below but I know I need the time in there too:

B4X: 
dim ServerBaseDateTime as long
ServerBaseDateTime = DateTime.DateParse(DateTime.Date(Files(i).Timestamp))/DateTime.TicksPerHour

In order to get the TIME of the server file accounted for beside the file date, I used the following tedious code. It seems to yield the correct ticks. But if someone has a simpler way, I welcome it. Thanks:
B4X: 
Dim ServerBaseDateTime as long
ServerBaseDateTime = (DateTime.DateParse(DateTime.Date(Files(i).Timestamp)) _ 
               + DateTime.TimeParse(DateTime.Time(Files(i).Timestamp)) _                         
-DateTime.DateParse(DateTime.Date(DateTime.Now)) )/DateTime.TicksPerHour
