Hi I need to get the last modified time of the files in an FTP server. I m ve tried two ways but none work:

1) First i tried the getModificationTime() method like this

String time = ftp.getModificationTime(filePath);
Date d = new Date(Long.parseLong(time));

As a result I receive time: 20151211120410 and d: 2608-07-26 , when the correct date is: 2015-11-12

2) Then I tried the mdtm() method. However, this one returns an int. In my case it just returned 213.

Any ideas on how to get the correct modified time and convert it to a readable format?

Thank you

Make sure you import java.util.Date and not java.sql.Date – JP Moresmau Mar 01 '16 at 13:21
