You have to tell us which error you're getting when you try to ls; is ls
listed in your /etc/ftpaccess? Is it present in your ~/bin directory? Has
inetd been restarted since you set things up?
I came late to this thread, but one thing that I do (sort of a cheat) is
install the anonymous ftp rpm, then copy its bin, etc and lib directories to
all of the directories which I want to use as homes for guest ftp.
Here's my 'ftpset' script, to be run from the directory of the guest user:
cp -a /home/ftp/bin .
cp -a /home/ftp/etc .
cp -a /home/ftp/lib .
Pretty simple but I hope it helps.
