Try connecting to port 21 and see if there is someone listening on

servers and see if anyone of these is running - but this is not so
easy task because you cant know each and every ftp server available

Nevermind. I figured it out. I should have read the README.
Newer versions of SSH don't use $HOME, instead the use the home directory listed in
/etc/passwd. And my home directory in /etc/passwd was incorrect. After fixing that,
everything works.

My link is so modest so it would be pointless to mirror the content to

dlopen()). It does this depending on the setting of the environment

This was done so that the same executable works:
