Thanks Kees It looks like this is a known issue with the WinSCP client. The issue is with UTC vs DST, and seems to result from an assumption as to whether the remote server adjusts for DST or not. It results in WinSCP both displaying incorrect timestamps for files on the server, as well as writing wrong timestamps when uploading.

I have yet to meet a developer who truly understands working with time zones and who can write code that deals with multiple time zones correctly. I have met loads of developers who think they can, though. ;-) Also, NTP is your friend. -- Kees Jan http://java-monitor.com/ kjkos...@kjkoster.org 06-51838192 Human beings make life so interesting.
