When I ftp to an unix environment I see the files with the UTC timestamp (which is the original linux filestamp). However when on a linux machine you do a list (f.i. "ls -la") then the timestamp of the files is visually converted into the local time zone.
In TC I see the files having the UTC timestamp.
Is it possible, when FTP to a unix machine the timestamp of the files is visually converted into the local timestamp?
FTP: show timestamp files in local time zone

You probably have some outdated FTP server which supports only old style directory listing (LIST command). The problem with this method is missing standard for timezones. Usually the timestamps are in "local time", but there's no way for FTP client to know what local time zone is. Some servers use UTC, but there's also nothing that would tell that to FTP client.
The best solution is to upgrade FTP server to some newer version with MLST/MLSD support. Those are newer and better listing commands and there's actually standard that guarantees UTC timestamps. In this case TC can easily present them to you in local time.
If you can't upgrade FTP server, TC allows you to manually set time offset at least in synchronization dialog.
