How to change (or fix?) output format for 'ls' command?

[Guest TomaszG]

Hello. I've installed on my Hero dropbear server to use WinSCP to transfer files between hero <-> PC. Connection is working fine but I have a small problem with directory listing. WinSCP accept this format of output:

<type><permissions> <inode> <owner> <group> <size> <timestamp> <filename>[ -> <target>]

http://winscp.net/eng/docs/message_unexpec...rectory_listing

but 'ls -la' in my hero returns information WITHOUT <inode> column. How to fix it (WinSCP works fine with Modaco Custom ROM so it is possible <_<). My hero have 1.15.3 version of busybox installed.

Thanks for any answers.

ls -lai should print with inode <_<

ls -lai should print with inode <_<

Maybe it should but it doesn't :-P Output is the same like with ls -la. Can anyone paste an example output for ls -la on Modaco ROM?

maybe a little late, but fwiw this is from mcr3.1:

kendon@nxnet:~$ ssh hero -p 2222

try using the busybox binary from 3.1, i think it needs to be compiled with the right options.

Actually, I get exactly the same formatting of output on 3.2

[Edit:]Um yes, but so what! Soz, I thought the OP was having a problem with MCR 3.2 - just realised he has already said it works fine under MCR, so this post is redundant. Shame we can't delete our own posts.

ive been having problems with MCR's busybox...dunno why, works fine on other ROMs though =\

[Guest TomaszG]

Here's the solution - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...p;postcount=215 - removing ls file from /system/bin/ cause it is symlinked to toolbox.

Bad format was because ls command was obtained from toolbox instead of busybox.
