FTPFile.getTimestamp

                 Key: NET-420
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-420
             Project: Commons Net
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: FTP
    Affects Versions: 2.0
         Environment: Commons Net 2.0
FTP System: AS400 systems
            Reporter: Ramya Rajendiran
            Priority: Critical


We are trying to list files from AS400 systems and retrieve the timestamps from 
these files using the following code:

FTPClientConfig conf = new FTPClientConfig(FTPClientConfig.SYST_AS400);
conf.setDefaultDateFormatStr("MM/dd/yy HH:mm:ss");
ftpClient.configure(conf); 
ftpClient.connect(hostName);
FTPFile[] file = ftpClient.listFiles(remoteFileName);
Calendar timeStamp = files[0].getTimestamp();

timeStamp returned is always null.
I have also tried various setting other parsers.. but that also does not work:
FTPListParseEngine engine = 
ftpClient.initiateListParsing("org.apache.commons.net.ftp.parser.OS400FTPEntryParser",remoteFileName);
FTPFile[] files = engine.getNext(25);  

The LIST command which is used internally in the FTPClient retrieves the 
timestamps successfully. However after parsing the FTPFile has a null value for 
the timestamp field.

I tried the latest commons net 3.0.1 and the problem still exists.

Please help us fix this problem. It is critical to us.
