Hi

Please is it possible to set the time in the program for files?

When I copy files through Filezilla, the times are correct.
When I use FreefileSync the time is shifted by 2h+

The server is supposedly called "Microsoft FTP Server "

That sounds like:

"With SCP protocol the option is used to counterweight time difference between timestamp of remote file shown in directory listing and timestamp set on downloaded file, and vice versa. The difference is caused by fact that during transfer scp command usually uses UTC time format, while ls command may display time in local (for server) time format. The time difference can be negative. For example if the timestamps of remote files are two hours ahead of local files, set the option to -2 hours. Read about other issues with timestamps."

You might be able to work around a Comparison issue by using FFS's time shifts.
