The results I get below are as expected except for the Date/Time
information. This seems to be a bug in
System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails. It is not allowing
enough space for all the Date/Time information.

Does anyone have a solution for this other than getting the list by another
method?

For this code:

Dim fwr As System.Net.FtpWebRequest =
System.Net.FtpWebRequest.Create("ftp://" & Path)
fwr.Proxy = Nothing
fwr.Credentials = New
System.Net.NetworkCredential(Me.txtUsername.Text, Me.txtPassword.Text)
fwr.KeepAlive = False
fwr.Method =
System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails
Dim sr As New
System.IO.StreamReader(fwr.GetResponse().GetResponseStream())
Dim S As String = ""
S = sr.ReadToEnd
Clipboard.SetText(S)

Below is a sample of the returned text, which if displayed with a fixed
width font lines up perfectly. The problem, of course, is that some dates
have a time in place of a year

the line -rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 2591 Jul 10 2004
SendMail.aspx has a date but no time.

The line -rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 2519 Jan 13 00:57 Photos.aspx
had a date, the time but no year
