I think all you can assume in an FTP listing when you have a time and not a year is that the year is the most recent for that particular date. For example, if today is Jan 3, 2005, and you have details like these:When listing directories in my ftp I get, for instance:
-rw-r--r-- 1 name name 2531 Aug 15 04:17 AARAR.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 name name 14922 Jul 11 09:55 ACGI.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 name name 2691 Jul 22 03:51 ACHAR.gz
etc.
I get the month, day and time of creation of the file, but not the year.
Since we are in 2005, my program understands that the files were created after the 3rd of January (today), which is not the case, and downloads them.
-rw-r--r-- 1 name name 14922 Jul 11 09:55 ACGI.gz
then the year must must be 2004. I.e. the most recent year that Jul 11 falls in.
A quick glance at my local OS X FTP server listings seems to show all dates back to July 2004 with a time and not a year. Anything before that has the year instead of the time. So perhaps it uses a 6-month cut-off. ( I can't locate a file saved in June 2004 to confirm this.)
