the system clock is very successfully in sync with the ntp server on all 
three different computers here.

setting the clock manually to today's date produces the problem....

setting the clock via the ntp server  to today's date produces the 
problem....  

however...
setting the system clock manually to the 31st Dec 2005 allows me to see 
the correct dates on the ftp server with the gftp program...
and the files that are dated 30 dec 2005.

the files dated 30 dec 2005 were not there with the clock set either way 
to todays date ???

also all three computers Mandriva 10.1 the  10.2  & the 2006 box have 
the same problem using different versions of gftp  ..... 

using Konqueror  "web page access"  always shows the correct date and 
files on the ftp sites where they allow port 80 entry via a web page.
