| - | ^ File modification [[timestamp|time-stamp]] | Theoretically the problem does not occur, as the protocol requires timestamps to be in UTC. Practically some of the SFTP servers have problems with DST. | Supported | 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 an additional difference caused by the server timezone offset. This causes trouble when comparing directories and [[task_synchronize|synchronization]]. | | + | ^ Timezone and DST issues with [[timestamp|file time-stamps]] | Theoretically no issues, as the protocol requires timestamps to be in UTC.
