Re: Setting up Anon FTP?

Tony was trying to diagnose the problem, the same problem I'm having. Namely, ls depends on libc (at least) and simply copying the library to the ~ftp/lib directory doesn't work. The man page mentions nothing about this, leading me to believe that it assumes that ls is statically linked.
