You are using wu-ftp? The trouble is that the ls command in /home/ftp/bin is not statically linked, but depends on a library which should be in /home/ftp/lib. You most likely have the wrong version of the library. Check like this: ldd /home/ftp/bin/ls
My situation is:- elm# ldd /home/ftp/bin/ls libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x4000a000) elm# ls -l /home/ftp/lib total 583 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 21375 Aug 7 1996 ld-linux.so.1* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Jun 27 16:20 libc.so.5 -> libc.so.5.4.23* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 570288 Jun 27 16:20 libc.so.5.4.23* I would appreciate it if you would send me the output of ls -lR /home/ftp before you fix it, just to satisfy my own curiosity.
