| | Local file system is FAT | File timestamp is always rounded to the next even second. This is a limitation of the legacy FAT filesystem. For this reason WinSCP ignores less than 2-seconds time difference with all its [[task_synchronize|synchronization]] features. Although FAT is an old filesystem, it remains in common use today on flash based storage media and devices (such as USB flash drives, camera cards, phone internal storage, portable audio players etc). Standard ZIP archive files also use a similar timestamp system internally, so unzipped files will behave as if they have been copied from a FAT filesystem. | | | Local file system is FAT | File timestamp is always rounded to the next even second.
