As someone else mentioned, proftpd avoids this problem. I believe that what has happened to you is that you are operating in a chroot'd environment and that in that environment there is no /bin/ls to run, so no directory appears. Try cd'ing to ftp's home directory and copying bin/* to /home/shao/bin/ and lib/* to /home/shao/lib/. This isn't necessary with proftpd because it has a built-in 'ls'.
