RE: Alternative to WINSCP

What made you think it would? While FTP is amazingly useful, it is also
designed to be a dumb application, meaning it takes files from one place and
puts it in another. Remember when it was developed at DARPA it's only use
was to move text documents between scientists. Over time we've added
options that are very useful and has made FTP less dumb but, in the end,,
it's still just "File Transfer Protocol", an intentionally dumb application.

Apparently IBM's implementation of ftp server does not support any of the
options on the ls command.
