Indeed, there is no ctime in there.. it's a bit strange that it's so,
I can definitely see the point of checking the ctime value of a remote
file: if it had been copied into the remote location with e.g. cp -p
you won't be able to figure out when the file was placed there without
it. Is there some other mechanism in the protocol to do the
equivalent thing of checking ctime?
