Yes, I understood what you meant, but that is only 1 part of what I need
to do: I need to retrieve the files from the ftp server before I can
"touch" them, and that won't work either because of the leap year bug.
So I retrieve them with a manual ftp client, and then use a gui file
date/time changer on them.

I mean a cron job to touch the files and change the date....

The problem is that ftp.getfiles won't even retrieve the files from
the server! It sees them as invalid because of the date issue. So I
have to retrieve them manually. Yeah, I could script up that part as
well, but I don't think it's worth it for now.

Dave-
Just set a cron job to do it every minute or (some other interval)
and then you don't have to worry about it - just don't forget to
remove the job tonight.

Yeah, that's what I've done so far today, but the files come in
continuously throughout the day for a total of 1000 or so, and we
need to process them as they come in, so I've been letting them
build up and doing it every hour or so. It's a pain, and I hope
they get this fixed sometime before the next leap year (and enough
before it that I have time to implement and test it!!!)

Short of downloading/patching the source code and redeploying,
just a stab in the dark here, but maybe just execute "touch -d
<date>" in the offending directory/directories. There's no
recursive flag though, bummer. At least it'll only be a problem
for 12 more hours (MST).
HTH,

I have found that the commons-net ftp.listfiles() fails to get
files whose date on the server is on feb 29. Googling indicates
that this a known problem (at least since this morning), but I
haven't found a quick fix. Does anybody know of one?
