Hi,
I'm having a date/time problem with CyberDuck 2.81. I believe that you can
fix it.
When I upload a file to this certain server, the time stamp is always
exactly 8 hours wrong. I believe that this is a time zone error, or the
failure to take a time zone into account. I have just tested with several
Mac FTP clients, and most also have this problem. But not all, so I think
it's fair to assume that this is a FTP client issue. I'd really like it if
this could be fixed in the next release.
I am in California, and I have named the uploaded files with my local time
of uploading. I don't know where the ftp server is (but that shouldn't
really matter). The files I am uploading today are all prepended with "DN-
TimeTestDec3" and I was careful to get the correct time in the filename.
The winner of this little TimeZone contest was FileZilla (both Mac & Win
versions), (and apparently FireFox) which actually calculated the time
offset, when apparently none of the other FTP clients did. Since your FTP
software needs to stay ahead of the competition, it's clear that this time
calculation needs to be taken care of. I imagine it's not a complicated
deal, and it would be MUCH appreciated.
I have screen photos, look at them here:

I also tested Transmit & Interarchy, and they also showed the wrong time.
Same url as above, but swap in
InterarchyFTP.gif & TransmitFTP.gif
This web form rejects messages with "too many outgoing links".
All are the same FTP server, same files. Most show the wrong time of
uploading due to an 8 hour time shift that isn't being handled correctly.
My system: Mac OSX 10.4.9 on intel iMac.
Thanks!
Hope this helps.
Best,
