Thinking on how to do this for this wouldn't pcmanfm have to know the user ids on the remote machine which I can understand if this is why this is not implemented and maybe this should be invalid.

Brendan, I agree with your comment - this seems like a feature request/wishlist to me rather than a bug exactly. It's not impossible - FileZilla supports displaying owner and group name information via sftp - but it would probably require a different process to gather that data than PCManFM's usual process.
