 DISCUSSION

In EFT Server version 5 - 6.2.9, you can create/edit this registry key to alter the behavior of the HTTP/S engine's directory listing format. By default, files and folders are displayed using UTC; however, if this registry value is present and non-zero, we use the Server's time zone for file/folder listings in the HTTP/S engine.

On 32-bit systems:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GlobalSCAPE Inc.\EFT Server 4.0\]

On 64-bit systems:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\GlobalSCAPE Inc.\EFT Server 4.0\]

"UseServerTimeZone"=dword:00000001

0 = use UTC file times

any integer other than 0 = use Server time zone for file times
