FXP v3.0 Wrong year listing

[krelvinaz]

Connecting to a number of different Unix hosts that are now in 2005, FXP is reporting the new files as in 2004.

Each of the files were created after 2005 on this server (See attached picture). They are all reporting creation dates of Jan 1, 2004 though.


FXP 3.0 Build 1015
WinXP Pro SP2
1gb RAM
Registered Version # [removed. do not publicly post your ffxp id]
This is not a firewall issue.

Normally the year isn't provided when the file is from the current year so we must use the current year from the client machine. However this can pose a problem when the ftp server and the client are in different time zones. The only way to prevent this is if the ftp server always provided the complete date.

That makes sense.
