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.

The "ls" command is not processed by lftp itself.
It just passes the options you specified to the server, and shows you the server's reply as is, without any processing.

ls -ltr
---> LIST -ltr

Use the "cls" command if you want lftp to do any processing.
