sFTP patch

(signature)
This archive contains a patched version of v0.47 of the sFTP command-line FTP client, and not the front end; for that, you will need sFTP 0.46 (which you should install first).
The patch fixes problems with Y2K-broken ftp servers which return, in response to the MDTM command, the year as 19 followed by the actual year less 1900, eg. 2000 => 19100 .
