Hi Brenda
Sorry I missed your posting initially. It should be possible to tell
FTPClient the server time zone, if it cant figure it out: this may do
what you want.
Have a look at the FTPClientConfig class (this is 2.0 javadoc, but this
hasnt changed since 1.4, IIRC):
http://commons.apache.org/net/apidocs/org/apache/commons/net/ftp/FTPClientConfig.html
Let me know if this works
