Aha. Interesting output. That was sortof what I had a vague memory remembering it looking like. Now I need to decide if I want to do it similar.
Do people think file protection (for example) is useful to see? What about owner? I certainly have the information available, but I have not displayed it so far.
I would try to make it look as close to the *nix implementations, that way automated / GUI front-ends are more likely to work nicely with the server.
For example, I have a very nice GUI file transfer program called Transmit.app on OS X, but it REALLY gets confused when talking to VMS..

I had the same problem with my Mac FTP utilities. I tried Panic's Transmit, Yummy FTP and a couple others. Yummy *almost* works except for file versions. But I've been using Filezilla <https://filezilla-project.org/> now for a few months and it seems to work pretty well. My biggest problem with it has been training it to recognize file types for automatic transfers (ASCII vs binary/image). It has Mac, Windows and Linux versions. I have V3.8.1 The latest is 3.10 but it won't work on my OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) system.
