Description

[RBL]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

Hit any FTP site. Files show size and time but not date. I see someone posted a
feature rquest for sort buttons in FTP view. I second that motion. Right now
Firefox's FTP browser is too basic to be useful.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hit ftp://www.rblevin.net
2. Look at the results.
Actual Results:  
No date stamp visible.

Expected Results:  
Shown the file/folder creation date, along with name, size, time.

worksforme linux trunk en-US, 1.0.2 fi-FI; with both I get e.g.
    SA.exe 4537 KB 21.02.103 16:00:00
when LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, and
    SA.exe 4537 KB 02/21/03 16:00:00
when LANG=C. ftp(1) gets
    220 maywood-is-0005 Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0).
    Remote system type is Windows_NT.
    02-21-03 04:00PM 4645376 SA.exe
So everything's good except for the "year 103" bit on LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8. Similar
stuff against a Microsoft FTP Service v5 server reported in bug 223422, but that
server (download.nvidia.com) talks to me all different

Still a bug.

This bug has plagued me since I started using Firefox - although I rarely visit FTP sites. (most recently ran into this again when downloading drivers from a manufacturer's website - all that shows is the time (HH:MM).  I quickly switched to IE to see the dates.

There is still a bug, but somewhat different it might be 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206214

in stead of a date:
22.04.2007      11:56
it gives:
10.06.1946  	11:56:00

I don't know how it gets that date but it's incorrect and useless.

ftp.mcafee.com
is another example of malfunctioning dates.
