Yes, both are America/New_York.
Is that what you have set in Cygwin's TZ? Did you set it manually or is that the timezone setting fetched from Windows by the call to the tzset utility in /etc/profile.d/tzset.sh? > My configuration is: (1) workstation and backup server on same LAN, (2) > workstation running Windows XP, (3) backup server running FC8 (2.6.25.9 > kernel), (4) no Samba shares. > > To repeat: > > (1) copy summer files from backup server to workstation via WinSCP > (2) inspect timestamp on server > (3) inspect timestamp on workstation using right-click -> properties > (4) use "ls --full-time" to see local files and they will be different > than what Windows reports Yeah, I got that. As I said, I also have "summer files" on the local machine, and the timestamp printed in Windows Explorer is the same as what Cygwin's ls --full-time prints. The timezone information in the --full-time output is correct as well. > Although this is a problem in the context of rsync, the real problem is > that cygwin has a different sense of time than Windows for the summer > files. Not for me. The only difference I see is that I'm living in another timezone. I changed my timezone to America/New_York as well, but the time is still correct in ls. Without a reproducible scenario (which does not involve non-system, non-Cygwin tools like winSCP) it's pretty hard to track down why you see the wrong time information.
