Adjusting file dates and times for a different time zone

You can have WS_FTP adjust the display of file dates and times on an FTP site so they represent the times and dates in your time zone. For example, if an FTP site is in a time zone three hours earlier than your time zone, you can adjust a date and time of 06/10/2004 1:00 AM to 06/9/2004 10:00 PM.

To adjust file dates and times for a different time zone:

  1. Select Connections > Site Manager to open the Site Manager.
  2. Select the site in the Sites list, then click Edit.
  3. Select the Startup page.
  4. In Default offset in hours, enter the difference in whole hours between the time zone of your PC and the time zone of the FTP site. Use a positive number if the site is in an earlier time zone or a negative number for a later time zone.
  5. If desired, select Attempt to auto-discover time offset to have WS_FTP attempt to determine the correct offset automatically. For more information, see Site Options: Startup.
