ProFTPD time does not show correctly on our server. After writing TimesGMT off in proftpd.conf, and restart FTP server, the time is still displaying in GMT.

 

Here is a way to get around this problem: insert export TZ=":/etc/localtime" into /etc/init.d/proftpd and save it. In proftpd.conf insert TimesGMT off, then restart FTP serser. It works on our server (CentOS 5.5 with ProFTPD).

 

Updated in 2013: 

TimesGMT off  is required to be placed inside <Global></Global> to be effective for some servers.

<Global>

...

TimesGMT  off

</Global>
