Strange behaviour :- While connected usign FTP, the listing of the files shows in different language
The list format within the FTP session is the german list format ( Date format) whereas the list format in the telnet session is the correct (english) list format. A sample listing of files shown below. Can anyone help?
ftp> dir 200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /usr/bin/ls. insgesamt 2 drwxr-xr-x 2 migroe sapsys 96 11. Juli, 13:02 testdir -rw-r--r-- 1 migroe sapsys 0 11. Juli, 13:02 testfile

Shalom,
definitely sounds like a localization issue.

You may see some German localizations installed and you would need to remove them and install English.

Attached ftp_issue.txt file contains the output of "locale -a" and "swlist -l package | grep locale" . As per the output, German language is installed but not set as default. In a different server with German language installed work fine with FTP. So, unistallation of the German language is not a solution for this issue.

Just because it is installed, doesn't mean it is active, as Unnikrishnan also points out. I too have zillions of locales, but I only run with American Nerd. All set by LANG or LC_*.

This is the output for who?? Is this anonymous ftp or a specific user? And if the latter, have you chrooted ftp so you need to look at that .profile?
