I don't think the spec makes any such requirement. I can't find any at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc959.txt which is the spec for ftp.
See http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14333 where a user gives a specific example where English is not used: -r--r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 1142 24 okt 14:02 afile.txt To be sure, I don't really know if that's a real listing or a made-up one. But this is why I'm looking for examples. If there isn't a problem we don't have to solve it, but it looks like there may be. -----Original Message----- From: Danny Angus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 7:57 AM To: Jakarta Commons Developers List Subject: RE: [NET] Here's an Ant bug that we should look into fixing > As far as my less ambitious goal of parsing dates correctly on > different locale systems is concerned, I posted a request on the > Ant list for any sample FTP sites implemented in different > languages and so far have not received any replies. Are you sure that dates are transferred in local language? SMTP specifies English for dates, perhaps ftp does too? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
