-   The format of the `longname' field is unspecified by this protocol.
-   It MUST be suitable for use in the output of a directory listing
-   command (in fact, the recommended operation for a directory listing
-   command is to simply display this data).  However, clients SHOULD NOT
-   attempt to parse the longname field for file attributes; they SHOULD
-   use the attrs field instead.
-
-    The recommended format for the longname field is as follows:
-
-        -rwxr-xr-x   1 mjos     staff      348911 Mar 25 14:29 t-filexfer
-        1234567890 123 12345678 12345678 12345678 123456789012
-
-   Here, the first line is sample output, and the second field indicates
-   widths of the various fields.  Fields are separated by spaces.  The
-   first field lists file permissions for user, group, and others; the
-   second field is link count; the third field is the name of the user
-   who owns the file; the fourth field is the name of the group that
-   owns the file; the fifth field is the size of the file in bytes; the
-   sixth field (which actually may contain spaces, but is fixed to 12
-   characters) is the file modification time, and the seventh field is
-   the file name.  Each field is specified to be a minimum of certain
-   number of character positions (indicated by the second line above),
-   but may also be longer if the data does not fit in the specified
-   length.
-
-    The SSH_FXP_ATTRS response has the following format:
-
-        uint32     id
-        ATTRS      attrs
-
-   where `id' is the request identifier, and `attrs' is the returned
-   file attributes as described in Section ``File Attributes''.
-
-   N.B.: FileZilla does parse this ls formatting, and so not rendering it
-   on any particular GOOS/GOARCH can cause compatibility issues with this client.
