I changed the connection from FTP to SFTP and Woo Hoo the dates are showing

Great!

Why I was using FTP I am not sure, these connections have been used for
years and I don't remember having this issue previously.

While I'm glad you got something working for you, I am still baffled
by why the dates would behave the way you describe for FTP. I mean,
surely FTP is also a valid and common use case, and deserves to have
sanely displayed dates.

Also, I wanted to apologize for writing this:

First thing is to check that your Windows is set for day-month-year
format. The author of WinSCP insists that the program just uses the
system settings.

Not that it was an egregious offense, but it was so long ago since I
read your original post, with so many intervening diversions within
the thread, that I'd forgotten you had already been through all this.
(And I still wouldn't have remembered except that I was just now going
through the whole thread again, trying to confirm that you really did
see the same issue in FileZilla and WinSCP. Because that's just
bizarre to me.)
