FTP : Time problem (net/ftp)

[Vin Raja]

Hi All


I tried to get down with some ftp stuff and got stuck-up at this:

Using net/ftp, When I try running ls or list methods I get the
directory listings detailing everything including "modified time" BUT
with missing year information.

But when i tried the same stuff with the 'chilkat' ftp module , the
listing included the elusive 'year' information.

THE POINT:
1. Is there any way in RUBY to get the modified time (except the mdtm
because that DOES NOT work on the ftp server in question).

On a second note how did the chilkat guys do it and if they can
perhaps anyone else can too!

Thanks
Raja
