[comp.dcom.lans] Help on setting up anonymous ftp correctly. Need some!

Hi,

What am I doing wrong in setting up an anonymous ftp site?

o I add a user ftp in /etc/passwd with home directory of /usr/ftp
  No login password, or shell.

o In /usr/ftp I create directories ftp, ftp/bin, ftp/etc, ftp/pub. I set
  the owners and permissions as specified in the manuals

o I copy ls to /usr/ftp/ftp/bin and passwd, group to /usr/ftp/ftp/etc.

When I try to do a anonymous ftp to it, I can't do a ls or cd. It gives
me a directory of "" instead of \. What am I doing wrong? I CAN put files
and they end up in /usr/ftp but I can't do a ls on them from ftp.

Any suggestions?

Regards
