Modifying the solution posted in edited post #1 to allow for an empty directory, a directory name containing space characters, or a directory containing subdirectories or other non-files:
Ps. Storing 150k files on one directory is a design issue. You can get severe performance issues or even failures.
We can only issue a "ls" command in such a directory if there are enough resources to sort the list (the unix "ls" command always sorts the list) and the o/s will tolerate the command.
If "ls" stops working, use "find" and a custom "sort".
Folowing Scrutinizer's excellent post, I revise as follows (untested): O/P did not specify ".txt" in posted solution.

Reason: typos
Does any one know how to get a recursive directory listing in long format (showing owner, group, permission etc) without listing the files contained in the directories.
The following command also shows the files but I only want to see the directories.
ls -lrtR * (4 Replies)

bup-drecurse
bup-drecurse(1) General Commands Manual bup-drecurse(1)NAME
bup-drecurse - recursively list files in your filesystem
SYNOPSIS
bup drecurse [-x] [-q] [--exclude path] [--exclude-from filename] [--profile] <path>
DESCRIPTION
bup drecurse traverses files in the filesystem in a way similar to find(1). In most cases, you should use find(1) instead.
This program is useful mainly for testing the file traversal algorithm used in bup-index(1).
Note that filenames are returned in reverse alphabetical order, as in bup-index(1). This is important because you can't generate the hash
of a parent directory until you have generated the hashes of all its children. When listing files in reverse order, the parent directory
will come after its children, making this easy.
OPTIONS -x, --xdev, --one-file-system
don't cross filesystem boundaries.
-q, --quiet
don't print filenames as they are encountered. Useful when testing performance of the traversal algorithms.
--exclude=path
a path to exclude from the backup (can be used more than once)
--exclude-from=filename
a file that contains exclude paths (can be used more than once)
--profile
print profiling information upon completion. Useful when testing performance of the traversal algorithms.
EXAMPLE
bup drecurse -x /
SEE ALSO bup-index(1)BUP
Part of the bup(1) suite.
