sftp

[T G Manikandan]

I am using the WINSCP client for the sftp from http://winscp.sourceforge.net/

During the sftp process the timestamp on the files are very different.

Anyone has come across this?

I've dabbled with it but moved on to a different client. I did not notice or look for that behavior.

Is there an command line extension for perserving permissions and is it relavent to your situation?

This is what i use, but it doesn't generate keys really well, so I'm not sure. You may wish to try it and see if the problem is the same. Could be a target server issue.

My server timezone is IST-5.30.

So the files on the winscp client is exactly minus 5.30 hours

There is no commandline for that

If scp on command line does not cause this behavior I would assume its a bug in your open source product, and submit a bug fix. The code probably is not handling the time data correctly. Fsecure has a nice scp GUI, but its not open sourece.
