No.  In theory, the NLST directive should not support any options at all;
options like -a et al should be supported by LIST, but not NLST.

It's expected.  RFC 959 does not do a good job of specifying support for
options for NLST and LIST; it is thus up to the implementors to decide
what's needed.  For more history, see:
