SFTP is not as sophisticated as an ordinary FTP. It has less commands and features, in particular SFTP does not support: - passive mode - IPv6 - proxy - transfer type selection - transfer resuming - file attributes - VMS OS - some others When any these options is selected for Source or Target (which is SFTP), the above options simply will not work (for example, instead of passive mode AnyFileBackup connect to the FTP server in active mode, etc.).

| This option applies only when the 'Set original file timestamp' option is enabled in Target FTP settings.
A time interval in minutes which allows to eliminate a time difference between a Source computer (where AnyFileBackup is installed) and Target FTP server. This may be necessary due to timezone differences.
The effect of this option is illustrated below (please see the examples).
