edtFTPj/Free doesn't recognize .htaccess-Files

Question

Hello everbody.

I have a problem using edtFTPj/Free, Version 1.5.4.
When I try to execute client.dirDetails() in a directory where a .htaccess-File exists, I receive a java.text.ParseException.

java.text.ParseException: Failed to parse line '-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp ftp 24 Dec 1 16:06 .htaccess' (Unparseable date: "Dec-1-2007-16:06")
at com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.FTPFileFactory.parse(FTPFileFactory.java:271)
at com.enterprisedt.net.ftp.FTPClient.dirDetails(FTPClient.java:2267)

Is it possible to fix this problem? Can I get edtFTP ignoring .htaccess-Files?

Thanks for any help.

Jan Hillebrand.

Answer 1

It shouldn't make any difference - are you in a non-English locale? That will make a difference.

Answer 2

Yes, I'm from Germany, but I suppose that the server is in English locale though. What can I do?

Edit: I just tried it with setParserLocale() to Locale.GERMAN and Locale.GERMANY, but I still receive the same exception.

Answer 3

The fact that the month is before the day hints that it is a US date. Have you tried a US locale?
