IIS 7.5 FTP Server displays dates with 4 digit years when in MS-DOS directory style listing mode:

lftp anonymous@localhost:~> ls -l
10-19-2012  03:13PM       <DIR>          SYNCDEST
10-19-2012  03:13PM       <DIR>          SYNCSOURCE

Parser.parse_ms_time in ftp_stat expects a two digit year and breaks on these date lines:

OverflowError: mktime argument out of range

when it generates a date of 2012+1900=3912 in these lines:

if year >= 70:
    year = 1900 + year
else:
    year = 2000 + year

I've changed the code to:

if year < 100:
    if year >= 70:
        year = 1900 + year
    else:
        year = 2000 + year

This should handle most two and four digit case except for four digit years between 0 and 100. But I'm not really concerned about that old files :). A more stable solution could check for the length of the year input string before handling two digit years.

Best regards,
