Apprunner Build ID: 1999072608 The... timestamps?... of the directories are some 4 hours en retard (as compared with the display of Enforcer 5.0 and Ancestor 4.6); as if displaying the PST hour...?
I believe timestamps are server generated. Perhaps the other software corrects values. If that is the case an enhancement bug should be filed.

This is server dependent. FTP servers decide what GMT offset and timezone they will stamp times with. FTP clients can only *assume* what the servers are using. Currently we assume the server is GMT.

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20706 seems to be making a different point. 20706 says teh _date_ is incorrect, 10551 says teh time is incorrect. I noticed that if I browse to the nightly build ftp directory the date for the latest win32 build is displayed as 11/30. This is not a GMT offset issue I don't think. Are these two seperate bugs.

Summary: FTP time data incorrect → FTP time/date data incorrect
adding "date" to summary per dups. I see this on Linux too, marking all.
Bulk move of all Necko (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking component.
As I humbly judge the loaded results of the cited URL, the dates returned are no longer inaccurate; only the hours now differ (upon the MICROSOFT WINDOWS 98 1999122308 build).
when I go to ftp://ftp.mozilla.org I get dates that are off by a year (10/29/00 rather than 10/29/99) With 5.0, the year shows with 99

Putting on PDT+ radar for beta1.

fix checked in. do not use 4.x to for date comparison if you're testing dirs/files with dates anywhere between now and Jan 1 1999. 4.x has a y2k bug.
