RFE: sort by last modified + grep with quotes

[James Patterson]

It would be really useful if ls -tr worked.
It would also be useful if ls | grep "Mar 11" worked. My workaround of
ls | grep Mar | grep 11 matches too many other things.

If I am meant to put this in a bug tracker somewhere I will. Thanks!

Try cls command for that.

You should quote the quotes, like this:

ls | grep \"Mar 11\"

The reason is that lftp interprets those quotes itself, and thus it's possible
to write:

ls | "head -1;tail -1"
