Oh oh... time zone is screwed up on the notebook. So that's part of the answer. (now I'm struggling to fix that - I'll get there!)
It's good to know I'm not going nuts here, and that this is partly unfixable. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Rout [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 October 2004 11:30 a.m. To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: date modified info is wrong? > Yes, kbear is an ftp client, I was trying to maximise my "linux time" to get > log files from our isp and put on a windows machine, the only way I could do > that was to copy them from kbear and paste into the windows share.
