-l: Displays detailed information about the files and subdirectories under a directory in a list, excluding the files and subdirectories with names starting with dots (.).

remote-path: Specifies the name of the directory to be queried. If you do not specify this argument, the command displays information about the files and subdirectories under the current working directory.

This command has the same function as the ls command.
