-Some servers (mostly on Windows) adjust [[timestamp|file timestamp]] with start of DST and some not (Unix). The option selects between the two approaches. ((Until version 3.7.6, Windows-style approach (server does adjustment) was selected by default.)) Select //Adjust remote timestamp to local conventions//, if the server behaves correctly and does not adjust file timestamp (typically Unix-based servers and Windows 7 and newer). Select //Adjust remote timestamp with DST//, if the server does not behave correctly and adjusts file timestamp (Windows Vista and older).+Some servers (mostly servers running on the older versions of Windows) incorrectly adjust [[timestamp|file timestamp]] with start of DST. The //Daylight saving time// option allows you to counterweight the incorrect behaviour.
-Change the option if timestamps of some files, either in directory listing or after transfer, are shifted by one hour. Note that the option must be set correctly before transferring the files. It does not make sense to try to use it to adjust the incorrect timestamp of already transferred file. +Select //Adjust remote timestamp to local conventions//, if the server behaves correctly and does not adjust file timestamp (typically Unix-based servers and Windows 7 and newer).

 +Change the option, if timestamps of some files in the remote [[ui_file_panel|panel]] are shifted by one hour. This can happen either for already existing remote files, or for newly transferred files. For the latter case, please note that the option must be set correctly before transferring the files. It does not make sense to try to use it to adjust the incorrect timestamps of already transferred files.
Use the third option //Preserve remote timestamp//, if you want to see exact non-adjusted remote timestamp in remote [[ui_file_panel|panel]]. Drawback is that with the option selected, the [[task_synchronize|synchronization]] functions will not work. This option is not available on Windows 7 and newer.
