Hi all,

I have a problem I could not find an answer to on Google and this ng. Our
server has the correct time and timezone. Files created locally (either on
the server or on the server drive by a connected client PC) have the correct
timestamp.

However, all files sent through FTP have a +2 hours time skew; i.e. when I
send a file now, the timestamp is now + 2 hours. Needles to say, this
creates all kinds of interesting problems I could happily live without.

FTP is on IIS, FTP with server publishing rule and ISA. Server is SBS2000
with all recent servicepacks installed.

I am sure this has something to do with GMT (we're in the GMT+2 timezone),
but I cannot grasp HOW exactly.

Help?

Rudi

I don't quite follow how you are sending files through ftp? To what?

Hi Susan,

Our SBS box acts as an FTP server. The FTP-server is used for transferring
files from people at home to a directory on the server.

The timestamp-problem occurs when a file is thus transferred from home to
the server, using an FTP client at home, and the FTP server on the SBS box.

The time-stamp problem occurs with any FTP-client we've tried (WS_FTP, FTP,
FrontPage on Windows and even some Linux tools).

Any ideas?

Regards,

Rudi
