How do they differ? "ls" returns a simple list of filenames in both.
"ls -l" returns; file modes, number of links, owner, group, filesize,
last modified time and filename.

On BSD systems I've used "ls -l" included the group number unless
-g was used to exclude it. On SVID systems I've used "ls -l" omitted
the group number unless -g was used to add it.

Well, I actually looked in an old SYSV manual here because it had been a
long time since I used a pure SYSV machine and the description for "ls -l"
included the group. I can type it in if you don't believe me.


The output I generally see from a UNIX FTP server for a LIST is in
the format of "ls -l". I haven't paid attention to whether it
tends to include the group.

It would as Unix FTP Servers use the "ls -l" command and then just pipe
the output into a newly created ftp-data socket.
