Sebb commented on NET-390:
--------------------------
The original Javadoc says
{quote}
Returns a string representation of the FTPFile information. This
will be the raw FTP server listing that was used to initialize the
FTPFile instance.
{quote}
I read the first sentence as meaning that the representation is not fixed - it
is "*a* representation".
I read the second sentence as meaning that the raw listing is the current
representation.
But I take your point that some may have relied on the original implementation.
> FTPFile.toString() should return formatted version of its fields, not the
> unformatted original
