| ^ File modification [[timestamp|time-stamp]] | Some shell commands are influenced by daylight-saving time. For example, the ''ls'' command can return a different time than ''scp''. Thus, after transfer, the time-stamp of the file can be different. Also there can be additional difference caused by server timezone offset. This causes trouble when comparing directories and [[task_synchronize|synchronization]]. | Theoretically problem does not occur as the protocol requires timestamps to be in UTC. Practically some of the SFTP servers have problems with DST. | | ^ File modification [[timestamp|time-stamp]] | Some shell commands are influenced by daylight-saving time.
