[jira] Commented: (NET-331) AS400 file timestamp format is wrong

["Sebb (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-331?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12891634#action_12891634 ] 

Sebb commented on NET-331:
--------------------------

What is the location of the server? Is it in Europe, or the US?

Seems to me that if the format is changed, it may stop working for systems with a different default date format.

It seems to me that both old and new formats will need to be supported.

I don't know if it is possible to determine the date format using standard FTP commands, so it may be necessary to provide two different parsers, or at least allow the parser to be configured with the appropriate format.

> There is a bug in org.apache.commons.net.ftp.parser.OS400FTPEntryParser.java.  The variable "private static final String DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT" needs to be changed from "yy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"; //01/11/09 12:30:24 to "MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss"; //01/15/08 14:21:38 to work correctly.  I have tested this on our companies AS400 and it solved the problem we were having.
