| Subject: | Problem when ls -al returns the modified date as YYYY-mm-dd |
Hello
This is my first time debugging anything so please bare with me if I'm
off road.
I've successfully installed Net::FTP:Recursive on a FreeBSD server in
the past and used a single rput script to make some backups. Today I
installed it on a Debian Linux but couldn't get my FTP script to work.
Seemed like rput wasn't handled at all. This is what the rput sample
script logs:
Net::FTP>>> Net::FTP(2.75)
Net::FTP>>> Exporter(5.58)
Net::FTP>>> Net::Cmd(2.26)
Net::FTP>>> IO::Socket::INET(1.27)
Net::FTP>>> IO::Socket(1.28)
Net::FTP>>> IO::Handle(1.24)
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x816674c)<<< 220 Microsoft FTP Service
Net::FTP::Recursive=GLOB(0x816674c)>>> user administrator
Net::FTP::Recursive=GLOB(0x816674c)<<< 331 Password required for
administrator.
Net::FTP::Recursive=GLOB(0x816674c)>>> PASS ....
Net::FTP::Recursive=GLOB(0x816674c)<<< 230 User administrator logged
in.
Net::FTP::Recursive=GLOB(0x816674c)>>> TYPE I
Net::FTP::Recursive=GLOB(0x816674c)<<< 200 Type set to I.
Net::FTP::Recursive=GLOB(0x816674c)>>> CWD /Backups/MYSQL/SQL
Net::FTP::Recursive=GLOB(0x816674c)<<< 250 CWD command successful.
Net::FTP::Recursive=GLOB(0x816674c)>>> PWD
Net::FTP::Recursive=GLOB(0x816674c)<<< 257 "/Backups/MYSQL/SQL" is
current directory.
Net::FTP::Recursive=GLOB(0x816674c)>>> QUIT
Net::FTP::Recursive=GLOB(0x816674c)<<< 221
Se the blank line in the debug log (?) that should have been the put
or rput command.
So I started looking in the Recursive.pm file making som debug print
tests to se how far it got. I ended up in the sub parse_files(). Here
you split up the dir command ls -la:
$line =~ /^
(\S+)\s+ #permissions %p
(\d+)\s+ #link count %lc
(\S+)\s+ #user owner %u
(\S+)\s+ #group owner %g
(\d+)\s+ #size %s
(\w+\s+\w+\s+\S+)\s+ #last modification date %d
(.+?)\s* #filename %f
(?:->\s*(.+))? #optional link part %l
$
/x;
This match dir lines fine on a FreeBSD, but not on my Debian Linux.
Below an ls -la command from FreeBSD:
bash-2.05# ls -la
total 56786
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1024 16 Nov 2005 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root wheel 1024 17 Maj 12:40 ..

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 4254271 16 Nov 2005 ftpd.log.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 13 3 Jun 01:48 test.txt
Below an ls -la command from Debian Linux:
mysql5:/downloads/Net-FTP-Recursive-2.00# ls -la
totalt 200
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2006-06-03 01:42 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 2006-06-03 01:20 ..
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2006-06-03 01:08 blib
-rw-rw-r-- 1 500 500 3106 2005-04-13 06:06 Changes
As you can see this dateformat is different by containing hyphens and
not whitespaces. So I modified the part where it strips the
modification date:
(\w+\s+\w+\s+\S+|\d+-\d+-\d+\s+\S+)\s+ #last modification date %d
You could write that in other ways how ever this works in my case.
I hope this was helpfull.
