SFTP actually provides the dir info in pure binary, so what you get is
libcurl's conversion to "FTP-like" output. Yes the code could certainly be
made to output something different, but if we would add such an option I would
also suggest that we then introduce a more fixed and documented format so that
clients can parse it easier.

But no, there's no currently available option to do this.
