 ==== Disabling Timestamp Preservation in WinSCP ====
+At the time of writing the default configuration for WinSCP attempts to preserve the time stamp for files transferred.  This behavior will cause a problem for tools such as //make// as it will set the timestamp for the file incorrectly.
+{{:guides:patterns:winscptimeproblem.png?nolink|}}
+Note that the time for the file main.cpp is only the date, not the date and time.  Also notice that make flags this as an error.
+To correct this problem:
+  - In the WinSCP application
+    - Select the Dropdown menu for *Transfer  Settings*/
+      - {{:guides:patterns:winscptimechang1.png?nolink|}}
+    - Select *Default* and click on *Edit*
+    - Disable *Preserve timestamp* in the *Common Options* area
+      - {{:guides:patterns:winscptimechange3.png?nolink|}}
+    - Click *OK* to close each window.
+{{:guides:patterns:winscptimeproblemfixed.png?nolink|}}
+Note the time is now included for the file main.cpp and // make // no longer reports an error.
