Using ls within qsh supports the options
Using ls within ftp does not. Irregardless of the client.

The most that an FTP client can do is take what the FTP server gives
it in response to a LIST or MLSD command. The FTP client is under no
obligation to provide an "ls" command at all. *Most* FTP clients
*happen* to provide "get" and "put" but these are merely user-facing
wrappers. Likewise, if your FTP client lets you do "ls", it's just as
a courtesy to reduce the impedance between what the user might find
intuitive or be used to in other contexts, and the actual machinery of
the FTP protocol.

In contrast, the ls you get in QSH is an actual program called "ls".
And it lives on the i, and is specifically modeled after (or ported
from) Unix's program of the same name.
