I have just set up an anonymous ftp on my machine. The directory is /home/ftp with subdirectories bin etc and pub.
THe directory ftp is owned by root and group staff. I copied /bin/ls into /home/ftp/bin. In etc, I copied the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files and deleted everything except the line for the ftp in the passwd file and the group in the group file. I am able to ftp anonymously from another tty on my machine but when I do an ls, the message is the usual one ( command successful .. ASCII for /bin/ls ) but the subdirectories and not shown up. I tried ftp from my home machine, which is also a Debian Linux, and I get the same problem. However, when I ftp from the NT machine and do the ls, the subdirectories show up. Does anybody know what the problem is? I have been following all the directions from man ftpd and Linux unleashed by Hussain, and Parker.
