I'm using the 'mirror' command to only upload modified files to the FTP server.
The server has an EST timezone. Whenever I run the mirror command, all the files I've modified in the last 5 hours are being re-uploaded. It turns out that the timezone is taken into account when parsing the UNIX-format ls output, but then the precision is only 30 seconds and some code in NetAccess.cc decides that since file->date.ts_prec>0 && can_get_prec_time, we need to get a more precise version of the remote timestamp. This ends up using Ftp::ConvertFtpDate() in ftpclass.cc, which ignores the timezone, instead doing: return mktime_from_utc(&tm); It looks like we need some way of taking the timezone into account when convering FTP dates in ftpclass.cc. Replacing the mktime_from_utc() in ftpclass.cc with: return mktime_from_tz(&tm, "EST"); fixes the problem for me, but isn't a particularly general fix... Chris.
