Most servers are capable of supporting the full range of flags for 'ls'
however whether the admin allows you to use them is a different matter.

For example 20 connections all firing off ls -lR is a little on the
aggressive side and is something a sane admin will want to block.

The only things to do with an enemy are make a friend of him or kill
him.  Leaving him alive and still an enemy is foolish.
