Client list using "LIST" parses dates more than 6 months in the past without a year as the next year

I have a server that has files from January - August of this year. The files from January and February have no year (since it is assumed to be this year) and they are being read as last modified in 2026. The other files more recent read the correct year and the device has the correct time on it. My server does not support MLST/MLSD so other commands are not an option.

The ls time spec says that only «recent» timestamps are formatted without year. «Recnet» in terms of ls means 6 months (https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/Formatting-file-timestamps.html). More to say, you can have ctime/mtime in future, for example touch -d "now +30 days" yoba, this will create a yoba file with ctime/mtime in future. Also, should be noted, that LIST command has no strict format and intended to be «parsed» by human. All these attempts in this repo to parse LIST responses (windows, linux parsers) covers only small subset of possible responses.

I suggest you to use parse_list_line_custom client argument, and use your own parsing routine
