| For certain reasons NT-class versions of Microsoft Windows (NT, 2000, XP, 2003) shifts timestamps of ALL files by one hour once Daylight Saving Time starts and/or finishes((See article [[http://www.codeproject.com/datetime/dstbugs.asp|Beating the Daylight Savings Time bug]])). For example, for file created on 2005-02-25 14:00, the Windows Explorer will show modification time 2005-02-25 15:00, when DST is in effect. As a Windows application, WinSCP, to be compliant with the Windows Explorer, implements the same timestamp correction. Unfortunately, to allow [[task_synchronize|synchronization]] functions to work, WinSCP has to apply the same correction to timestamps of remote files. As the remote operating system, being typically Unix-style, usually does not perform the Windows NT-style correction, you will see different timestamps in directory listing of WinSCP, than you see in directory listing on the server (for example in ''ls'' listing). | For certain reasons NT-class versions of Microsoft Windows (NT, 2000, XP, 2003) shifts timestamps of ALL files by one hour once Daylight Saving Time starts and/or finishes((See article [[http://www.codeproject.com/datetime/dstbugs.asp|Beating the Daylight Savings Time bug]])).
