I built the '5 minute ftp client'. It works well for some ftp servers but on others an error is thrown in a pop up after connection that reads: 'String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.'
Using the SecureFTPConnection Tester, the following text is shown after clicking the conect button:
"DEBUG : Connecting to 172.26.169.70:21

The intersting part is that it is acually getting the default directory info as is shown by:
DEBUG : -->drwx------ - root root 0 Jun 24 14:48 PROG-A
DEBUG : -->drwx------ - root root 0 Jun 24 14:48 DATA-B
DEBUG : -->drwx------ - root root 0 Jun 24 14:48 DATA-C
DEBUG : -->drwx------ - root root 0 Jun 24 14:48 PROG-D
However, it cannot be displayed. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
