Re: chrooted users: how to see directory content ?

Aldo,

You need to set up his chrooted area so that it has a bin directory with
the ls binary in it, plus any libraries it may need (if not statically
linked) under <chroot>/usr/lib etc..

Essentially, you need put the same stuff in there that you would put in
a chrooted area which is set up for anonymous access.  The man page for
the original ftpd supplied with your OS may give further details on this.

The FAQ question regarding the same issue for anonymous users may also help :

Good luck !

Cheers, Bob
