: The most common cause for this problem is that you are using a "ls"
: program which requires shared libraries and you don't have a copy 
: of the libc.so and ld.so files in ~ftp/lib.

Either that, or the path for ls is hard-coded in the ftp binary,
and that path is not where your ls is installed.  For example,
I ran into a machine recently where the ftp binary had a
"/bin/ls" coded into it (found with a "strings ftp | grep /")
but the system had ls installed in /usr/bin/ls.  A quick
soft-link cured the problem.
