Set FTP Server to Show File Modification Timestamps in Local Timezone instead of UTC

Sorry, I have never used ftp and really don't know much about proftpd.

Try to add it to the extra options field in the ftp service in the GUI of OMV

That's alright! Thanks anyway! I just assumed that you would know because it feels to me like you know all that their is to know about Linux. 🙂

If you are talking about this box, then I have already tried it (see initial post), and sadly, it did not work.

This module is loaded by default: /etc/proftpd/modules.conf

# the previous mod_sql.c module to use this
#LoadModule mod_wrap2_sql.c
LoadModule mod_dynmasq.c
LoadModule mod_exec.c
LoadModule mod_shaper.c
LoadModule mod_ratio.c
LoadModule mod_site_misc.c

Hello all,

I have noticed that ProFTPD shows modification timestamps for files in UTC instead of my local timezone. Does anyone know how to adjust this? I found in the documentation that setting TimesGMT off as a custom configuration entry should change this behavior, but it hasn't.

I also found a supposed solution here that recommends setting the following:

Code

<Global>
TimesGMT off
SetEnv TZ :/etc/localtime
</Global>

I have tried to use this in the custom configuration with and without the <Global> tags, but nothing seems to work. The FTP client that I am using is FileZilla, if that makes any difference.

This is partly correct, on Debian the required information is not in /etc/localtime, it's /etc/timezone; then it works. I will include the SetEnv TZ :/etc/timezone line in the next version.
