Description

I used FtpClient.listFiles() to get a listing of all files in the current working directory on a remote Windows server. If a remote directory begins with a number followed by a space and more text (e.g., 2008 Rates) the name returned by FTPFile.getName() has the leading number truncated (so '2008 Rates' would be 'Rates'). Examining the value returned by FTPFile.toString() or getRawListing() both show the full file name, but the name returned by getName() is truncated.

If the directory begins with a number and is not followed by a space (e.g., 2008_Rates) the correct name is returned by getName(). If there is a number after the test (like'Rates for 2008') the correct name is returned by getName().

Files do not appear to be affected by this. The getName() function returns the correct name regardless of the position of a number or the white space aorund it.
