Users GuideWS_FTP ProProblem: Timestamp Problems on UploadsIf the FTP site is a Windows NT host, it will always stamp incoming files with Greenwich mean time (GMT). To correct this, enter the time difference in the site properties as described in Adjusting for a Different Time Zone on page 66.When you upload a file to any other type of FTP site, the file date and time is automatically updated by the FTP site to the date and time of the transfer. For this reason, the timestamps of the uploaded files on the FTP site are never in sync with the timestamps on your PC and usually appear to be more recent.Here is a workaround: If you need to synchronize the timestamps on your PC with those on the FTP site, you can download the files after you upload them (provided that you have turned on Preserve file time on transfer from remote).Problem: Unable to Open/View Files and FoldersIf you can connect to an FTP site, but cannot open a folder on the FTP site or transfer a file, check your folder and file access privileges on the FTP site. These permissions are set by the site administrator and cannot be changed by WS_FTP Pro.If you can connect to an FTP site, but the folder and file display is blank or unreadable, see Problem: File List Missing, Blank, or Unreadable on page 143.Problem: Corrupted Files or Strange CharactersYou may have transferred a binary file in ASCII transfer mode; this can result in strange characters appearing in the file (such as ^M) or in damage to the file.Make sure you transfer text files (such as .txt, .html, .htm, .cgi) in ASCII mode and most other files (such as .bmp, .gif, .exe, .zip) in binary mode.If you still have problems, verify that you have hardware flow control enabled on your modem. If you are not using the Microsoft TCP/IP stack (part of the Windows 95, 98, 2000 or NT operating system), contact your stack vendor.
