             Summary: OS400FTPEntryParser returns filename with leading space 
when listing contains a year instead of time
                 Key: NET-745
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NET-745
             Project: Commons Net
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Sarankumar Baskar


OS400FTPEntryParser produces a filename with a leading space when the FTP 
directory listing contains a year (previous-year entries) instead of a time 
(current-year entries).

In standard Unix-style directory listings, the date/time column is fixed-width. 
When the listing shows a year like "2025" instead of a time like "15:46", the 
output is padded with an extra space to maintain column alignment. The parser's 
regex captures that extra space as part of the filename.

Reproduction:

Current-year entry (parsed correctly):
  Raw:  "-rwxrwxrwx   1 TLXDRIVER 0        1592686 Jul 14 15:46 cloudfax.jar"
  Name: "cloudfax.jar"

Previous-year entry (leading space in name):
  Raw:  "-rwxrwxrwx   1 TLXDRIVER 0        27432520 Apr 24  2025  
itextpdf-5.2.1.jar"
  Name: " itextpdf-5.2.1.jar"

Expected: FTPFile.getName() should return "itextpdf-5.2.1.jar" without a 
leading space.

Suggested fix: adjust the regex in OS400FTPEntryParser to allow one or more 
whitespace characters before the filename capture group, or trim the captured 
filename.
