Description
The FTP "LIST" command provides details like permissions, ownership, file size, and creation timestamps but the current `readdir(::FTP, ...)` call which uses it only provides the file names.
We should extend [`lstat`](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/base/file/#Base.Filesystem.lstat) so we can more easily get at this additional information and we should also maybe provide a new function which provides this information on all files in a directory.
To see the addition information you can run:
```julia
ftp = FTP(...)
resp = FTPClient.ftp_command(ftp.ctxt, "LIST");
print(read(resp, String))
```

Research direction
Read the FTPClient.jl implementations of readdir and ftp_command, then review the Base.Filesystem.lstat interface. Run the provided LIST command against an FTP server to inspect its response. Done means the client exposes the requested file metadata through a defined interface, including any directory-wide function agreed for the feature.
