        I still think that a directory listing format that it
        can't parse is a real possibility; although I think there
        are still some Unix ftpd's that don't support the
        REST <byte-offset> hack, you are more likely to find
        them on non-Unix systems, either because the system doesn't
        have the simple Unix model of file structures (VMS?, IBM
        mainframes) or because the feature was missed out in an
        attempt to get to market quickly.

        Unless it can parse the directory listing, it can't
        get a useable last modified date.
