Error description
An FTP directory listing may fail when the timestamp is not in the form: '\d{2}:\d{2}'. An example of such problematic timestamp format is '9:54' (one-digit hour due to lack of leading zero). Sample directory content: -rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 0 Dec 19 21:12 a.txt -rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 262500 Dec 8 9:54 b.txt -rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 262500 Dec 8 9:54 c.txt -rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 0 Dec 19 21:12 d.txt Listing the above directory will show file 'a.txt' and then throw an error message similar to the following when it tries to process 'b.txt': SFTP Server: Invalid listing format [-rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group] Error in stream. Descriptor number unavailable. Additional information: Write error (8) Bad file descriptor (9)
Local fix
Configure the FTP server to convert timestamps to have a leading '0' if < 10 hours. Example: Convert '9:54' to '09:54'
Problem summary
