    I am writing a sftp command interpreter and parsing stdout, so my results need to be consistent. The openssh v3.4p1 on Linux doesn't accept "ls -l" but writes the results of "ls" as if it did. So, I assume it's a problem with the sftp source which I can't find.
    In native Linux "ls" gives me the correct results without the permissions. I thought about a possible alias, but don't know if you can set one for an sftp command.

    I don't know why they're different, but if you just typle "ls -l" from the
    unix box you'll get the same output.

    BTW, under linux my sftp output looks like your 'unix' output. Is it
    possible you have some aliases set or something?

If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.
