http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6639 FTP GET assumes a leading whitespace with files older than a year [EMAIL PROTECTED] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[EMAIL PROTECTED] Status|RESOLVED |VERIFIED ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2002-10-23 20:04 ------- Reproduced this bug. It's a nasty edge case specific to AIX 4.3 and files greater than six months old, that exposes a bug in the ftp library. On AIX 4.3, for files that are greater than six months old, the ls command switches to displaying the modification year instead of the modification time. This year takes up a maximum of four characters, e.g. 2002, as opposed to the maximum of five characters present in the time, e.g. 14:37. For files like this, AIX's ls adds a second space to seperate the modification year and the file name. This breaks an assumption in the ftp library. See org/apache/commons/net/ftp/DefaultFTPFileListParser.java, line 323 - 326 of version 1.2 in the Commons/Net sandbox, for a comment indicating the assumption and the source of the problem. What happens is that in org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/net/FTP.java, in the inner class FTPDirectoryScanner's method scandir(), a call is made out to the FTPClient's listFiles() method (line 216 in version 1.29) to get a list of files present on the server. The FTPClient in turn uses an instance of the DefaultFTPFileListParser class to parse out the file names. When connecting to an AIX 4.3 server and looking for files greater than six months old, DefaultFTPFileListParser misparses the output, causing an extra space to be prepended to the file name as indicated by the original submitter. In my particular case, the include attribute in the ftp tasks FileSet element is include="myjar.jar". This fails to match as the server find a file called " myjar.jar". Changing the include line to include="*myjar.jar" causes the file to be matched, but when a get is attempted for " myjar.jar" it fails as no file with that name exists. Simple workaround is to touch the files so that the modification time is not greater than 6 months in the past. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
