Hi,
I have a strange situation where when I get different timestamps depending
on if a use ls -l or ls -ln:
---------------
sftp> ls -l
-rw-rw-rw- 1 0 0 39649 Sep 20 11:30
C20060920.1115-20060920.1130
sftp> ls -ln
-rw------- 0 0 0 39649 Sep 20 13:30
C20060920.1115-20060920.1130
--------------
The machine is in timezone UTC+2. According to the sftp draft timestamps
should be in UTC time
(draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer-13.txt chapter 7.7).
After looking in the code I found the difference that the when doing a
numeric listin, the openssh client constructs the string shown while
otherwise it is the server that builds up this string.
My question is, when the OpenSSH sftp client constructs that string, does it
compensate for the timezone difference, i.e. does it show the UTC time sent
by the server or does it convert it to client local time. Or is it
undefined? Apprarently, it is wery confusing to get see different listing
depending on the flags to ls.
Disclaimer, the server is a F-Secure implemenation. I haven't ruled out the
possibility of an error in the server implementation. It might the case
that the server is sending timestamps in local time rather than UTC time.
Thanks in advance!
