---------------------------------
Hi Rory,
1. I may miss something on how a FTP server works, but it seems to me that the
date returned in the file entries are always given from the GMT timezone. If
so, the best way to correct it would be to compare the date given to the
current date in the GMT timezone:
Instead of setting the Calendar timezone to the server timezone, I think we
should set the Calendar timezone to GMT.
(in FTPTimestampParserImpl#parseTimestamp(String)).
2. I think the rollback behaviour should be disabled only if the date given is
not more than one day ahead of the current date (since any timezone difference
would be less than 24hours), and let the dates which are more than one day
ahead be rolled back. By doing so, the date given by getTimestamp would be far
more reliable:
Indeed, if I disable the Rollback behaviour, on the 1st January of any year,
all my files would have their timestamps in the future :-)
