Sebb commented on NET-573:
--------------------------
There are a couple of issues here.
1) FTPClientExample in 3.3 does not allow the server type or the default date
format string to be defined. The server type is determined from the response to
the SYST command. However the default date format for AS/400 is "yy/MM/dd
HH:mm:ss", which cannot be used to parse the date as MM cannot be 20. So the
example is bound to fail.
2) I have tried to reproduce the problem with the code snippet. However that
works fine when tried with a dummy server using the StubFtpServer [1]. So long
as the code sets the default date string correctly, the timestamp is parsed
correctly.
3) The code snippet calls ftpClient.listFiles twice; this does not seem to
affect the result, but should be avoided.
My plan of action is to update the FTPClientExample so that the default date
format can be specified. Hopefully the 3.4-SNAPSHOT code can then be used to
help debug the problem.
Is there a publicly accessible server that can be used for testing?

> The LIST command which is used internally in the FTPClient retrieves the
> timestamps successfully. However after parsing the FTPFile has a null value
> for the timestamp field.
> The null value is returned just when a user place the file in the AS400 usint
> the NetServer Servivice. This is used to share foldes between windows network
> and the AS/400
> Please help us fix this problem. It is not critical to us.
