CuteFTP Professional User s Guide 

CuteFTP does an MDTM retrieve time to determine what the remote file s time is. 

Notice the server sends 12:55 PM, adding 4 hrs. due to the server s time difference and 

GMT:

COMMAND:>       MDTM Reports.cfc 

                213 20040514125501 

CuteFTP uploads the replacement Reports.cfc file:

STOR Reports.cfc 

CuteFTP issues an MDTM command to set the time according the actual date and LOCAL 

time of the file, 12:55 PM: 

COMMAND:>       MDTM 20040514125501 Reports.cfc 

Subsequently we retrieve the list from the server. Notice the time, 8:55 AM.

 rw rw rw    1 user     group       20249 May 14 08:55 

Reports.cfc 

Notice that the server didn t write the 12:55 timestamp as requested. Instead, it assumed the 

timestamp was in GMT and subtracted 4 hours.

Workaround 

There are no known workarounds. 

Solution 

Don t turn on this feature when connecting to Serv U or other FTP servers that modify the 

time sent as part of the MDTM set sequence.

After you set up an account for public key authentication you will still have to enter a 

password the first time you log in. This is because when you set up public key authentication 

for an account and set the authentication type to Pwd OR Key, WinSSHD still must cache 

the password so that you can log in with just the public key. Therefore, on your first login
