Hi

Can anyone help me find some way using net/ftp for changing the  
directory listing style from unix to ms-dos kind.

Actually I needed to find the file timestamp

FYI : MDTM doesn’t works on my ftp server ☹  
: and the default listing style is unix which returns year instead  
of time for older files (which I can’t change)

So is there any other way out???

Loads of Thanks
