Why is the PowerAutomate Desktop SFTP file date showing as 1970/1/1?

When I use PowerAutomate Desktop's FTP function to connect to the company's SFTP server and use the "List FTP Directory" function, I find that the dates of all files have changed to 1970/1/1. However, when I use FileZilla to connect to the SFTP server, the dates are displayed correctly. Please correct this. Thank you.

    Based on the date that is being returned, I can only point you to this for guidance: Unix time - Wikipedia. We do not utilize FileZilla.
     
    This may help as well, although it is for converting UTC to Unix instead of Unix to UTC: Converting UTC Date Time to UNIX Time with Power Automate
