idFTP DirectoryListing ModifiedDate error

[Shane]

i am not getting the right date on my files when i look at the ModifiedDate

see code below

idFTP1.Connect;
idFTP1.ChangeDIr('/public_ftp/data_files');
idFTP1.List(nil, '*.dat');
for I:= 0 to idFTP1.DirectoryListing.Count-1 do
begin
AModDate := idFTP1.DirectoryListing[I].ModifiedDate;
if AModDate > gLastDownLoadDate then
begin
lbxFiles.Add(idFTP1.DirectoryListing[I].FileName);
end;
end;


The year is showing as 2007 - when the files are stamped with 2008

what is going on?

i added IdAllFTPListParsers to my uses clause

Which version of Indy are you using? What does the raw directory data look
like?

Im using the latest stable version

When I look at the directory using a FTP client, it shows the correct date

When I downlaod the files using a FTP client, they come accross as the
correct date

if I place a showmessage in the code, it shows a different year (off by one
year)
Which of course then makes my if then false

AModDate := idFTP1.DirectoryListing[I].ModifiedDate;
ShowMessage(DateToStr(AModDate));
if AModDate > gLastDownLoadDate then

Which actual build number do you consider to be the latest "stable" version?

That does not tell me anything useful. Again, please provide the data I
asked for earlier. That is the only way to diagnose the problem.

Sorry, I am a novice

Not sure what youa re asking

I downloaded the version offered here

http://www.indyproject.org/Sockets/Download/Files/Indy10.EN.aspx

I believe its 10.xxxx

I can't find anything anywhere that tells me the minor version. I downlaoded
it on Sunday.

As for the Raw Directory data. I do not know what you mean by this

thanks

I am asking you to provide a sample of the raw data that the FTP server is
sending for the directory listing. Use an external packet sniffer, such has
Ethereal/Wireshark, for that. Or attach a TIdLog... component to TIdFTP
before connecting to the server. Either way, someone can then see how the
data is actually being parsed. As well as determine which parser TIdFTP is
using to begin with (Indy 10 has several dozen FTP directory listing parsers
available), or at least report what the TIdFTP's DirFormat property contains
after accessing the DirectoryListing property for the first time when
calling List().

What EXACTLY did you download from that page, though? There are 3 links to
different versions on it.

I can't find anything anywhere that tells me the minor version.

Right-click on any Indy component inside the IDE's Form Designer. You can
get the installed version from the popup menu that appears.
