can't see directories

Hello

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I have been working my brain in overdrive the last week trying to get this to work. I can not see dictories when using the 'ls' command. If i allow root to login i can see all the files and directorys if i use 'ls -la', but can only see one file if I us 'ls'. I am running Redhat 9. I did not use the redhat RPM since I wanted the latest version, and compling it was way more fun!

what I want is to allow anonymous access, but when I login with an anonymous user, the 'ls' command only shows my message.msg file, not the directorys. ls -la for the anonymous user shows:
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode date connection for /bin/ls.
266 Transfer complete
 
other then that everything is running great, I am new to linux and did not have to much trouble compling and installing it.

Cheers
Sean
