Re: can't see directories

Also, I had the same problem,

And just the library in the "lib" directory of the ftp user were not 
correctly setup

go in the "bin" directory of your ftp user
type
~ftp/bin> ldd ls
        librt.so.1 => /lib/librt.so.1 (0x4002d000)
        libacl.so.1 => /lib/libacl.so.1 (0x4003e000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40044000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x40162000)
        libattr.so.1 => /lib/libattr.so.1 (0x40177000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)

All those library have to exist in your ~ftp/lib directory

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!
