The ftp driver works well with servers using GNU 'ls', but fails on AIX
servers, as the output is a little bit different. Output looks like this
on AIX:
drw-r--r--   5 wguenthe fphys       2048 Mar 19 2004  WWW
instead of
drw-r--r--   5 wguenthe fphys       2048 Mar 19  2004 WWW

ftp.php tries to detect the start of the file name by reformatting the
date string and by locating the resulting string within the current line. 
The format of the year is '%-5s' on AIX instead of %5s. The included patch
tries to find the position using '%-5s' if '%5s' fails.
