We are using Serv-U as our FTP server on Windows Server 2008 R2.
When I use windows explorer on a Windows 7 desktop to connect to the ftp site the Date Modified timestamp is off by exactly 5 hours…But if I use other ftp clients(Firefox and Filezilla) I get the correct timestamps.
The time on the desktop and server are correct and in the same timezone (central).

I think the issue is the FTP clients setting the time on the file without regard to the time zone. There are several old links discussing this.
