When a colleague checked timestamps handling in vsftpd, he found that wget is expecting that timestamps received from ftp server have the same timezone as the client.
in src/ftp-ls.c:ftp_parse_unix_ls() It reads time of modification from directory listing (.listing) which should be in UTC according to https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3659#section-3.1 and creates timestamp using mktime(timestruct) which honors local timezone configuration. This breaks timestamps. Josef
