For anyone still looking into this, we've recently notices this same problem with a few other FTP programs and discovered that on AIX, ls -l and ls through FTP show the date and time of a file if it is less than 6 months old. Older files get the time is replaced with the year. e.g.:
drwxr-sr-x 5 nobody nogroup 256 Jun 30 10:51 bulletin drwxr-sr-x 6 nobody nogroup 256 Nov 06 2009 cfi drwxr-xr-x 6 nobody nogroup 256 Jan 15 2010 wpc In this directory, Nautilus will only show the file with the time correctly. The other two have the problem with the leading space. It seems like somehow when Nautilus is parsing the ls output, that the extra space is coming from the end of the date columns somehow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/480731 Title: After upgrade to 9.10, Nautilus FTP adds space before some filenames -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
