[Proftpd-user] NLST options not working in 1.3.1?

[Gray, R. <ric...@le...>]

Hello,

I know the NLST command and its options are a popular topic, and I seem
to recall this subject coming up on the list recently.  I can't find
anything in the archives though, so apologies if this question has been
asked before.

Should NLST support a -rt to list files by reverse order?  It does not
appear to on my build.  My testing suggests that -a is the only option
supported by NLST.

The ListOptions directive page seems to suggest that it should support
options, while this bug suggests that 'sensible' options for NLST are
supported.

I do not have any ListOptions in my configuration, so I don't think that
is the problem.  Options to LIST work correctly.  Does anyone else see
this behaviour, and is it expected, or a bug?

Here's an FTP session transcript illustrating the problem.  The client
is the the Solaris 8 standard FTP client which translates 'ls' into
NLST.

ftp> ls
