Using lftp version 3.7.6 in Cygwin (the version that's part of the
Cygwin distro), when I do an 'ls -ltr' I get a message stating t and r

invalid option message. What's interesting is that 't' and 'r' are
supported by 'ls' as part of the Cygwin shell (I'm using bash), and
doing an 'ls -l' works as expected. Anybody have any idea what could
be causing the problem? I've checked 'cmd:ls-default' and it's not
currently set to anything.
Probably you are not using ftp protocol, or the ftp server does not support
these options.
Try `cls' command.
Correct, I'm using sftp. Using ftp, I can execute 'ls -ltr' as expected.
Why is the 'ls -ltr' command limited to ftp? When I do an sftp
connection using 'sftp', I can do an 'ls -ltr' and it behaves as
expected.
Thank you,
Chris
