Given, that ftp access to remote servers has not the importance any longer as in the past, I fear that the Emacs maintainers are not too enthusiastic writing such an ange-ftp backend. Neither for DOS format nor for MLSD format (but the latter could attract a little bit more). Patches from somebody else are welcome, of course. Best regards, Michael.
