| While specification for SFTP protocol version 3 and older defines file timestamp to be unsigned 32-bit number representing number of seconds from Jan 1, 1970 in UTC, at least OpenSSH interprets it as signed number. The result is that files on the server with timestamps before 1970 will be interpreted by WinSCP as times after 2038. As it is probably quite common bug, it is currently considered to apply for all servers. Set the option to //Off// if it does not for your server. | While specification for SFTP protocol version 3 and older defines file timestamp to be unsigned 32-bit number representing number of seconds from Jan 1, 1970 in UTC, at least OpenSSH interprets it as signed number.
