Your FTP server is not running in your personal default local time.

The underlying system (kernel and on-disc filesystem structures) record
time in seconds since midnight 01jan1970 GMT, and the default time
rendering converts to your local timezone for display purposes.

This is controlled by an envionment variable $TZ on a per-process basis,
and otherwise by a system file with a default is $TZ is not specially
set.

Probably the login process sets $TZ for you and the system default is
not set up.

Try running the system-config-time command from a root shell.
