Winscp isn't a command line tool -- it's one of those GUI enabled
transfer tools with the split panels. Think of something more along the
lines of Explorer or Norton Commander -- the two interfaces styles
available from winscp out of the box. By default it set's the date/time
of the recently sent file to the client's date/time so it can implement
a synchronize feature. I changed the settings in mine to prevent this
because my server time would float a little between ntp updates. Tomcat
wouldn't see the updates until a couple of minutes after I uploaded them.
Issues of times on the remote system being off by an hour are discussed
on the winscp website (as the OP described in his example in the
original post):
http://winscp.net/eng/docs/timestamp
The setting to preserve timestamps on uploads can be changed:
http://winscp.net/eng/docs/ui_copy -- here you can see the checkbox
labeled "Preserve timestamp" in the screenshot, far right side under
'Attributes'.

If 'winscp' acts anything like UNIX scp, then the default mode is to set
the modification time on the destination to the destination's current
date (basically, 'touch' the file upon creation). The "-p" switch allows
you to preserve the existing modification time of the source file, so
that the destination matches the source after the copy. It's unclear how
different time zones are handled.
I would check to see what 'winscp' does by default. You probably want
any files you copy to your server to be date-stamped with the current
date on the server, rather than preserving the source file's
modification time.
The OP never mentioned what the timezone was on the source machine, only
the destination (CEST, UTC +2).
