From Pedro:
Unfortunately, the RFC says that timestamps and files
information are system dependent. This leads to :
- a crash for old files (since date may appear as
Month Day Year)
- a displayed date that may not match the taste of
the user ;)
Anyway, I think that it will be better if the date was
first converted to a number seconds, it will ease
sorting. I just had a look on how gftp parses dates
(there is also a parsing for LIST return):
- unix server : Month Day (HH:MM | Year) (y2k check
???)
- nt server : MM-DD-YY HH:MM (AM|PM)
And then convert it to the user taste, either with an
user option, or by using the %c format in strftime
(locale settings).

We should also allow the user to format the dates according
to his tastes in the option menu.
