Description
Since Windows doesn't have the concept of group and world permissions, when listing files through sftp permissions are shown as "-rw-******". Unfortunately this causes an SFTP client my company uses to throw errors as it attempts to parse the permissions.
Is there an option to have sftp-server fake the group/world permissions for display purposes? Or could such an option be added?

No file or test is named. Start at the sftp-server permission-display path and review how Windows permissions are formatted and how server options are exposed. Done means the intended fake group/world display behavior and configuration interface are agreed and validated against the affected SFTP client.
