Yes, there's a shift of "+0200" hours when using "-h" from sftp ls built-in 
command. In my lenny systems (clients and servers) there's not such a flag for 
sftp client:

sftp> ls -lh
ls: Invalid flag -h

Different commands, different libraries, I guess. But I'm curious about the 
difference between "ls -l" and "ls -lh" when both are executed from sftp. 
Maybe is that the human readeable flag uses the local time of the host 
instead? :-?
