The date format you showed is unambiguous--dates without a year showing
are from the most recent such month. If the month is 6 months or so
in the past, then the year will be displayed as well. The MDTM command
can also get the date and time to more accuracy, but an ftp client isn't
going to use that command to get the date because it means a round trip
for every single file in the directory.
