Timezone property
Determines if dates are shown in Local or UTC time zone
Syntax
object.Timezone[= value]
The Timezone(object,value) syntax has these parts:
| object | An expression evaluating to an object of type wodFtpDLX. |
| value | A TimezonesEnum enumeration, as described in settings. |
Remarks
Settings
The settings for value are:
| Constant | Value | Description |
| ZoneLocal | 0 | Time/Date is represented in local time zone. |
| ZoneUTC | 1 | Time/Date is represented in UTC. |
The Timezone property is a client-side add-on (by default, the SFTP protocol only works with UTC dates, and FTP protocols work various ways) that defines whether wodFtpDLX will represent dates in the Local time zone or in UTC/GMT. It is more convenient that dates are represented in local time but it is possible that the server (or local computer) will have its clock set incorrectly, thus our calculation of the local->UTC->local conversion will be invalid.
This setting affects the
GetAttributes and
SetAttributes methods. It does not affect the ListDir method directly, because
ListDir does not interfere with the contents of the directory - it just provides it as it is received from the server (as string data). However, if you access
DirItems property after calling ListDir and access
ModificationDate property for each item, it will be presented in UTC/Local time, based on the value of this property.
