I've never managed to make the login of any user work, but I can tell You why there's no ls working for the anonymous account: It's all because the "chroot" isn't implemented. If You put ls.exe into /bin it will work! Futhermore ftpd searches most of it's configuration files from /usr/local/etc instead of /etc. Matthias Morche (mailto:morche@sat1.de) SAT.1 (http://www.sat1.de) >>> Linux: the greatest adventure game since the invention of the PC <<< - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
