Timezone Conversion

API

• TimeConversion - Server timestamps are converted into the given timezone.

  • FtpDate.ServerTime will return the original timestamp.
  • FtpDate.LocalTime will convert the timestamp into your local machine's timezone.
  • FtpDate.UTC will convert the timestamp into UTC format (GMT+0).
  • You need to set TimeZone and LocalTimeZone (.NET core only) for these to work. Default: FtpDate.ServerTime.

• TimeZone - The timezone of the FTP server. If the server is in Tokyo with UTC+9 then set this to 9. If the server returns timestamps in UTC then keep this 0. Default: 0.

• LocalTimeZone (.NET core only) - The timezone of your machine. If your machine is in Tokyo with UTC+9 then set this to 9. If your machine is synchronized with UTC then keep this 0. Default: 0.
