Moving files

[Lauren Goodley]

Hi, all,

This feels like a 101 question but it is tripping me up.

I'm on a mac. When I copy/paste files from one server location to the directory connected to Archivematica, it changes the date created. Do I care? The other option, that I know of, is creating a bag, but then I still have to get the data files out of that bag. For example, if originally I bagged items to move from a hard drive to the server, and now I want JUST the preservation files on the Archivematica directory.... 

Am I making any sense? Is there a command line out there?

Thanks for any thoughts!
