ftp timestamp off by 5 hours when using windows explorer
When using windows explorer the dates of last modified is off by 5 hours.
If you use ie9, Chrome, or firefox the time shows correctly.
Client (PC), Server (FTP) all show the correct time and time zone.
This seems like a windows 7 bug, it does not happen in XP.

All servers, PC's everything is in CST.
If we change the time zone to GMT that would cause everyone that currently works to show the same problem correct?

This has been around for more than a year and was an issue in Vista as well.
I proposed a workaround since there is no known fix for the issue and the author's "results/answer" was a page confirming what I had already said. Should I not get partial credit for this thread?

not in CDT? That CST is GMT-6, CDT is GMT-5

I'm assuming Eastern since that is the 5 Hour difference between GMT (new-UTC). For some reason MS thought it was a good idea to set it to default to this time zone on the Windows Explorer FTP in newer versions of Windows.
A potential work-around for this would be to set the time on the FTP server to GMT time zone and then when a Windows 7 machine uses the Windows Explorer FTP, it will show the correct time. Unfortunately, I think this is the only option unless you use a 3rd party FTP program or a browser...
