Default Internet Explorer - IE6 - as an FTP client for AIX - strange results

Hello all,
I'm using IE 6 as an FTP client to my account on an AIX (5.3.3.0) box.

If I log on anonymously, it all seems fine. However, if I log on using
my server account, all of the files and folders displayed are prefixed
with a time.

E.g.

09:18 bin

If I try to navigate to one of the displayed directories, I get a not
found error. It seems that IE is looking for a folder called "09:18
bin" using the exmple above.

The LANG environment variable on our AIX box is set as shown:

LANG=en_GB

The language specified in I.E. is also en_gb.

Both machines are on our corporate network and I can FTP with no
problem using FileZilla and bog standard FTP command line.

As I don't have any root privileges on the server, I'm hoping for a
client size solution.

Many thanks.
Dave.
