This is from one up-to-date Fedora 17 system to another, using openssh RPMs
version 5.9p1-26.fc17.x86_64.  Listing a directory from a terminal opened
via ssh is shown below, but listing the same directory from sftp is
slightly wrong i.e., file sizes/flags/timestamps of two files are swapped.

dan at localhost:/tmp> ls -l peers.*
-rw-r--r--. 1 rob users       2176 Oct  4 15:12 peers.awk
-rw-r-----. 1 dan traders  1311410 Oct  4 16:49 peers.res2
-rw-r-----. 1 dan traders 66799654 Oct  4 16:59 peers.res3
-rw-r--r--. 1 rob users       8900 Oct  4 16:56 peers.txt

sftp> ls -l peers.*
-rw-r--r--    0 500      100          2176 Oct  4 15:12 peers.awk
-rw-r-----    0 505      502       1311410 Oct  4 16:49 peers.res2
