I do not have a solution.

Use a better FTP server. Or use WebDAV protocol to talk to the IIS.

It is not clear how can I resolve this? should I drop the files from the remote side then synch again?

Thanks.

So what happens is:
- The local file has timestamp 2013-08-19 04:00:00 GMT
- The remote file has timestamp 2013-08-18 server time. The server does not provide time, just date.
- WinSCP considers the remote file old and uploads the local file.
- After the upload WinSCP asks the server to set the remote timestamp to 2013-08-19 04:00:00 GMT
- The server probably converts the GMT time to local time (as of the server) just before midnight the previous day (2013-08-18)
- So you end up where you started.

This all stems from from ancient directory listing used by the server that
1) does not provide time for old files
2) uses server's time instead of GMT.

Log attached.

Thanks for the log. I'd like to see the remote directory listing listing after the synchronization.

Can you repeat the test and enter the filesnotfound folder after the synchronization?

Attached is the session log all the files in this log are 1 day less than what is showing on the remote server. It started November 1st so maybe it has to do with daylight savings time because the files should show 12:00 am of the next day if you take an hour away and remove the hours it puts them 1 day before, however it is not happening to all files in the folder just some.

I am getting you a session log now however if you look at the image it shows you the files modified date of the remote server is 8/31/2012 12:00 AM and your software to the far right is the remote server is showing the "changed" date as 8/30/2012 basically removing a whole day from the real modified date and not displaying hours or minutes.

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

Name one of the files with the problem. Explain what timestamp do you see, what timestamp do you expect, and why.

I have a very simple script that synchronizes my local Inetpub to a remote inetpub. After November first I noticed that my log showed that I was copying the same files everyday. I went into the GUI and it is picking up those same files as changed everyday. The problem appears to be the timestamp on the remote server. The date the remote server is showing is not the same date as the files on the remote server.

For example I go to the remote server I look at one of the pdf files that it is trying to copy, its date is 8/31/2012 12:00 AM on the server. The same file in the gui says 8/30/2012. The image attached shows the file name, date, type and size from the remote server. The bottom of the image shows what the synchronization checklist shows which is incorrect. I have tried everything I found on this site dealing with timestamps nothing is working and its also only a subset of data.
