Additional characters in file name returned by GetFileInfos

Question

Using edtFTPnetPRO.dll version 7.3.1.20 and connecting to an ftp server running on a NetGear ReadyDATA device (running Solaris) we are seeing incorrect file names returned by GetFileInfos. The file names all begin with two digits and a space followed by the correct file name. Has anyone seen this before and found the cause?

Answer 1

It could be a parsing error. Email the Debug log file to support and we'll take a look.

Does GetFiles return the correct names?

Answer 2

When I look at the Name field of the returned FTPFile object it has a date combined with the name. My processing was removing most of the date and only leaving the last 2 characters. Any idea why the date is included in the name?

Answer 3

There's no standard for what the server returns, so it is up to the client to try to interpret it. If you send us the log file we can probably figure out how to parse it correctly.
