Anonymous FTP problem...
2007-12-25 8:09:00
---------------
I setup an anonymous ftp following the standard procedure. The anonymous
login works but the 'ls' or 'dir' command doesn't show any files/directories,
though they are present under the home directory of user id ftp which is
/ftproot.
The command doesn't spit an error messages either. I have a sample
session below. I double checked on the ownership and modes of the required
files/directories and everything looks OK.
Any clues, pointers will be appreciated.

Thanks to Barry Margolin <barmar@think.com> for solving the puzzle for me.
The answer is 'ls' depends on /usr/lib/libdl.so.* and hence has to be
copied to /ftproot/usr/lib/. I did and it worked. Here is the reply as is

Thanks to others who reminded me to post it on afs-info news group.

Thanks to Deborah Heller for reminding me to go back and look at the FAQ.
As I mentioned in my posting, I had followed the standard procedure and the
FAQ doesn't have the libdl.so.* info. May be this is the time to include
it the FAQ.

Thanks to Peter Samuel for the suggestion to create a symbolic link called
/ftproot/lib to /ftproot/usr/lib. This is not neccesary as ldd shows
only /usr/lib/* dependencies
