Incorrect file timestamp shown through SFTP connection
Posted: Thu Mar 29, 2018 11:46 pm
We are running WingFTP server 5.0.6 on linux with "File TimeStamp using GMT" option checked. We noticed the timestamps for files on ftp server are off when viewing the file list through SFTP connection; There is no problem with plain FTP connection. This is observed on more than one ftp client include FileZilla;
For example: a file on the FTP server has timestamp as 17:00 EDT with day light saving time (Which is 21:00 GMT); On plain ftp connection, the ftp client on the east time zone would show the correct timestamp as 17:00; but on SFTP connection, the ftp client shows 22:00 ( Note it is not 21:00 of GMT time); Not sure why. Is there any settings on the server to correct this? Thx
