Date format issue

2018-06-07 09:02

I am in Australia and use the dd/mm/ccyy date format.
I have a connection to an IBMi server and the list of files show the correct date for anything with a day greater than 12, for example 15/03/2018.
But a file that I updated today shows a date of 06/07/2018 this should be 07/06/2018

I can't find anywhere to set this in WINSCP ?

If I look at the same file in windows explorer the date is correct.

Any suggestion ?

Please attach a full session log file showing the problem (using the latest version of WinSCP).

To generate the session log file, enable logging, log in to your server and do the operation and only the operation that causes the error. Submit the log with your post as an attachment. Note that passwords and passphrases not stored in the log. You may want to remove other data you consider sensitive though, such as host names, IP addresses, account names or file names (unless they are relevant to the problem). If you do not want to post the log publicly, you can mark the attachment as private.

Session log file added

2018-06-08 09:53

I have attached a log file as requested.

If you look at the log you will see the date for file mainMenu.php of 01/08/18 which should be the 08/01/2018.

Appreciate any assistance
Thank you

Thanks for the log. There's no really good solution to this problem. The best is, if the server supports modern MLSD FTP command, instead of the obsolete LIST. Or SFTP.
