> Most of the FTPEntryParser classes return null if date parsing fails.
> This can cause an otherwise good entry to be ignored, when perhaps the only problem is that the parsing is faulty.
> The suggestion is to allow such entries to be kept, but with a null date.
> This is already done by the EnterpriseUnixFTPEntryParser.
> Patches to follow.
