FILETIME to Unix Time (__time64_t or time_t)

Here is the code to convert FILETIME to Unix Time (__time64_t). You can also use time_t instead of __time64_t.

__time64_t FileTimeToUnixTime(FILETIME & ft)
{
	ULARGE_INTEGER ull;
 
	ull.LowPart = ft.dwLowDateTime;
	ull.HighPart = ft.dwHighDateTime;
 
	return ull.QuadPart / 10000000ULL - 11644473600ULL;
}

Unix time (__time64_t or time_t) to FILETIME

Here is the code to convert unix time (__time64_t) to FILETIME. You can also use time_t, in which case you would need to use Int32x32to64(t, 10000000) function to multiply in the below code.

void UnixTimeToFileTime(__time64_t t, FILETIME * pFT)
{
	// Note that LONGLONG is a 64-bit value
	LONGLONG ll;
 
	ll = (t * 10000000) + 116444736000000000;
 
	pFT->dwLowDateTime = (DWORD)ll;
	pFT->dwHighDateTime = ll >> 32;
}
