Description

Monitoring of files on a ftp server using DefaultFileMonitor doesn't seem to register changes in the last modified time.

From the email correspondance with Mario:

1.
This is how I've set up my DefaultFileMonitor:

DefaultFileMonitor fm = new DefaultFileMonitor(new FileListener() {
public void fileCreated(FileChangeEvent arg0) throws Exception

{ System.out.println("File created. " + arg0.getFile().getName()); }

public void fileDeleted(FileChangeEvent arg0) throws Exception

{ System.out.println("File deleted. " + arg0.getFile().getName()); }

public void fileChanged(FileChangeEvent arg0) throws Exception

{ System.out.println("File changed. " + arg0.getFile().getName()); }

});

fm.setDelay(60000);
fm.addFile(file);
fm.start();

Thanks for the code snipped. I tried it with the default
VFS.getManager() (without setting the CacheStrategy) and it works here with my ftp server as expected.
I am pretty sure for your tests you do not use a delay of 60000, do you?
I tried it with 5000 (5 seconds) and get the events promptly.
But ...... I pointed the monitor to a directory ....

.... ok - got it. Its a bug in the FTPFileObject, unhappily I have no workaround yet.

Thank you for your help and sorry again for the extra work.
