How do I get the date of a file in an FTP?

As stated in the subject.
I am at wits end trying to get the date of a file from FTP(Stuck for days).
I tried the "URLConnection" Class but could only get me the size of the file with "getContentLength()"
"getContentDate()" & "getLastModified()" both give me a 0. They only works for files on HTTP but not FTP.
Anyone has any simple solution on how to get the date of a file on FTP?
Thanks in Advance.

The FTP specification has long awaited the magical file meta-data access protocol, which never came. There is no FTP defined manner to obtain the date of a file. The common work-around is to get the containing directory list and <shudder> parse the format of the returned text for the target file and date. Since there is no standard directory listing format, there is no guarantee that you will be able to get that date, and your application would have to cry to the user for help.
Some FTP applications, in addition to providing parsers for Unix/Linux and DOS/Windows directory list formats, also provide the user with a format definition script to parse whatever the user encounters.
I hope you find this of some help.

    Hi,
    I hope u understand my query, How can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP thru WebDynpro Programming.
    Help out with the steps for getting the data or procedure.

    You can expose the APIs in the Non-SAP backend as Web Services, and consume them in SAP by creating an Enterprise Proxy. Then these can be called just like normal class methods from Web Dynpro.

  • I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do?  How can I get the data off this disc?  I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

    Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive.  Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth)  around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
    If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.

    I tried powering off and on and it went away, but I can't tell if it's been broken into since everything works fine (I'm using it now) is there a test to see if it's been broken into?
    Thanks for all your replies!

  • How would I get the date of last Monday?

    How would I get the date of last Monday?

    I've done the following, does it seem right?
    public static const millisecondsPerDay:int = 1000 * 60 * 60 *
    24;
    * This function sets the mimimum and maximum range
    private function sliceChartWeek():void{
    var max:Date = new Date();//current date is our max from
    which we will calculate the min
    var day:uint = max.day;
    var min:Date = new Date(max.getTime() - (millisecondsPerDay
    * (max.day - 1)));
    dateTimeAxis.minimum = min;

    If you don't get helpful replies, I suggest you try to improve your question style a bit. There are many non native English speakers around here and the ability to phrase slick sentences varies. But for a start you could try to adhere to minimal English language standards like starting a sentence with an uppercase letter, and ending a sentence with a dot and a blank to separate it from the next sentence. Don't use ellipses (...) all over the place suggesting that the reader knows what you want to say. Rather please say it.
    Its is good style to only post the necessary code to understand the problem. However, the code you posted seems to be cut off too early to even get a grasp at what you are trying to achieve.

    To what format file are you saving from Audacity?  Although technically AIFF format can save data tags within the file itself I have not found this to always work with all applications.  Likely the information you enter into Audacity is just being saved in the file name.  When you add this file to iTunes, if iTunes cannot find tags it recognizes it will simply add the track with the file name as the track name.  You need to add the tracks to iTunes, then enter the information using File > Get Info for a track or series of tracks,
    Some of the above information may vary slightly depending upon the file format being used.
    It helps when asking questions here to provide as much information at the onset as possible.  We didn't know until this stage that all these menus were in fact part of Audacity and not iTunes.
