Ok, I have figured it out and it was really simple. The admin account owned the ftp directory. Once I switched the ownership of the directory to the other user, the nlist command started to work. I find it strange that the ls and dir commands would work, but not the nlist command. But at least it is fixed now.
Thanks for the help. Ron On Tue, 2007-04-17 at 20:55, Larry Hall (Cygwin) wrote: > Carlo Florendo wrote: > > <snip> > > > If that does not work, try running proftpd as power user.
