Some people have been noticing this anomoly when FTP'ing to plains.  I asked
out system programmer about it, and he replied with a supieor attitude, "Tell
everyone else to get the new FTP package, it's free".

So apparently, if you can't get 'ls' to give to the full listing, ask your
admin to install the new version of FTP.
