[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=13008765#comment-13008765 ] 

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

Should have realised earlier that the FTPClientConfig.setDefaultDateFormatStr(format) method can be used to override the default format provided by the parser. So for example:

{code}
FTPClient f=FTPClient();
FTPClientConfig conf = new FTPClientConfig(FTPClientConfig.SYST_UNIX);
conf.setDefaultDateFormat("MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss");
{code}

Or the parser could override the preParse() method to scan the raw results and decide which format to use when the main parse is called.

> 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.
