Re: [gftp] gFTP >= 2.0.15 not showing all files

[Brian Masney <masneyb@gftp.org>]

Hi,
   There was a bug in 2.0.16 (and older) that the wrong year would be appended
to files in some cases.  Please try the version of gftp I have only at
http://www.gftp.org/gftp-test.tar.bz2 and that should fix your problem.
