When viewing with command line ftp i get.. ftp> modtime core.db.tar.gz core.db.tar.gz 01/27/2008 22:03:55 GMT apache shows me the following when viewing in firefox File: core.db.tar.gz 24 KB 27/01/08 10:03:00 PM So while the ftp says "GMT", it is really PST, as the times are very close, and it is clearly within the 10PM house where I am (PST timezone). Not sure why the time is being reported as GMT in ftp.
