Class UnixFTPEntryParser

    • Field Detail

      • NUMERIC_DATE_CONFIG

        public static final FTPClientConfig NUMERIC_DATE_CONFIG
        Some Linux distributions are now shipping an FTP server which formats file listing dates in an all-numeric format: "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm. This is a very welcome development, and hopefully it will soon become the standard. However, since it is so new, for now, and possibly forever, we merely accomodate it, but do not make it the default.

        For now end users may specify this format only via UnixFTPEntryParser(FTPClientConfig). Steve Cohen - 2005-04-17
