Leap-year problem with commons-net

[David kerber <dc...@verizon.net>]

I have found that the commons-net ftp.listfiles() fails to get files 
whose date on the server is on feb 29.  Googling indicates that this a 
known problem (at least since this morning), but I haven't found a quick 
fix.  Does anybody know of one?

Yes, I understood what you meant, but that is only 1 part of what I need 
to do:  I need to retrieve the files from the ftp server before I can 
"touch" them, and that won't work either because of the leap year bug.  
So I retrieve them with a manual ftp client, and then use a gui file 
date/time changer on them.

The problem is that ftp.getfiles won't even retrieve the files from the 
server!  It sees them as invalid because of the date issue.  So I have 
to retrieve them manually.  Yeah, I could script up that part as well, 
but I don't think it's worth it for now.

Dave-

Just set a cron job to do it every minute or (some other interval) and 
then you don't have to worry about it - just don't forget to remove the 
job tonight.

Yeah, that's what I've done so far today, but the files come in 
continuously throughout the day for a total of 1000 or so, and we need 
to process them as they come in, so I've been letting them build up and 
doing it every hour or so.  It's a pain, and I hope they get this fixed 
sometime before the next leap year (and enough before it that I have 
time to implement and test it!!!)

Short of downloading/patching the source code and redeploying, just a 
stab in the dark here, but maybe just execute "touch -d <date>" in the 
offending directory/directories.  There's no recursive flag though, 
bummer.  At least it'll only be a problem for 12 more hours (MST).
