Arte you sure? I think the output should contain only the filenames.

If you want to inverse the order just drop the -r switch from the sort command.

I list files on server ftp and, it gives me a list of file in alphabetic order.
I want this list of file in order like "ls -t", the niewer in first and the older last.

INPUT:

Code:
drwxr-x---  2 ftp_mont System            0 Sep 30 09:16 .
drwxr-x---  2 ftp_mont System            0 Jul 15  2009 ..

Just a thought: Can't you use use sftp to access the machine? Usually sftp supports ls -t or ls -lt or even ls -ltr.

Are you sure? What happens if you type "man sftp" in the terminal?
