Hi,

Im having a problem connecting to AIX from an FTP account on PhpEd. The error returned is:

'Invalid argument to date format'

I can connect to AIX using a basic windows shell with no problems.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

We are in the process of evaluating the latest version.

Many Thanks

Probably PhpED did not recognize date/time format your server used in its output.
Could you please run console, login to the server, navigate to target directory, run ls -la (or just ls) command and submit output there?

Here is the details you requested...

looks quite messy.
Would your server follow a common output format ([year] month date time) like below?
In this case PhpED would work fine

dmitri,

We are stuck with AIX, and because this is a production server with many other systems running, it may not be possible to change the default date structure (but I'll ask!). Most FTP clients I've used can read this date format with no problems, so far only Zend's built-in FTP client and now NuSphere dont work We are looking for a good excuse to drop Zend and move to NuSphere, but this small problem may prevent this.

It appears we cannot change the data structure as it would mess up our Oracle databases.

Do you think this would be something you would fix in a future release?

Hi,

If we could get SSH installed on AIX, would connection via SFTP work? or would the same problems occur?

Thanks

ssh (sftp) will work with no problems. I promise.
All problems with FTP servers are becuase the output for ls command is not documented in corresponding RFC and therefore may vary from server to server, from platform to platform.
BTW, I'm not sure why would Oracle be messed up? Isn't it possible to change LOCALE settings for just one running daemon (ftp) by changing its evironment during launch?
