ftp modtime

Question

Hi,

I'm using edtftpnet v 1.2.3 and I am having a problem with the GlobalScape Secure FTP Server (v. 3.1).

Modtime throws an exception
String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
at System.DateTimeParse.ParseExact(String s, String format, DateTimeFormatInfo dtfi, DateTimeStyles style)
at System.DateTime.ParseExact(String s, String format, IFormatProvider provider)
at EnterpriseDT.Net.Ftp.FTPClient.ModTime(String remoteFile)

I used ethereal to capture the raw ftp

It seems modtime doesn't like the .109 (milliseconds?).

Anyone know if I have to set a flag or something to handle this? (trying not to recompile and have my own version of edtftp)

Answer 1

That's right. I've never seen milliseconds returned from modtime before.

Try changing this line:

private static readonly string tsFormat = "yyyyMMddHHmmss";

to:

private static readonly string tsFormat = "yyyyMMddHHmmss'.'fff";

and recompiling.

If this works, post here and we'll incorporate it into the codebase so your modtime will work for the next release.
