-To allow [[transfer_mode|text mode transfers]], WinSCP needs to know what format of text file does the server use. Generally there is plenty of text file formats, almost every platform has it own format. WinSCP supports two most used formats, Unix and Windows. As most SSH servers are run on Unix system, generally you may leave the default Unix format. If your server runs on Windows, select the Windows format. If you do not use text mode transfers, the option is not important for you.+

With [[protocols#sftp|SFTP-4 and newer]], the server tells itself what format it uses, so the configured option is not used. With [[protocols#sftp|SFTP-4 and newer]], the server tells itself what format it uses, so the configured option is not used.

 +==== Timezone Offset ====
 +The //Timezone offset// allows user to configure timezone difference of the server.
 +
 +With [[protocols#scp|SCP protocol]] the option is used to counterweight time difference between [[timestamp|timestamp]] of remote file shown in directory listing and timestamp set on downloaded file, and vice versa. The difference is caused by fact that during transfer ''scp'' command usually uses UTC time format, while ''ls'' command may display time in local (for server) time format. The time difference can be negative. For example if the timestamps of remote files are two hours ahead of local files, set the option to -2 hours. Read about other issues with [[timestamp|timestamps]].
 +
 +With [[protocols#ftp|FTP protocol]] the option is used to actually set the difference between local and remote timezone.
 +
 +The option is not available with [[protocols#sftp|SFTP protocol]] as with it, the server must report all timestamps in UTC.
