Subject: WUFPTD 2.4 with HP-UX 10.01

From: [email-masked]

Greetings,

I've installed  WU-FTPD 2.4 on an HP-UX 10.01server, but seem to be
missing shared libs to run the LS and DIR commands.  I can transfer
files ok, but just can't list directories, etc.

The only thing I have in ~ftp/bin is ls.

Any suggestions?  I'm assuming I need some shared HP-UX libs?
TIA.

Brad Christensen

Hello Brad

You must have been on a differenrt planet for the last few days.

This has been an ongiong discussion for a while.

Here is my last reply:

There has been a great deal posted re: the dir and ls commands on
Solaris.

The dir and ls commands actually work differently; why I don't know.  I
don't believe that the linking, static or otherwise, is relevant for ls.

I have discovered that most PC clients will use the dir command, but
that a ftp from a unix or ftp shell will usually employ the ls command.

It is the dir command that needs the static libraries, and the the ls
command that needs the dev entries.

If you have ls working this does not mean that dir works.

Everything works fine for me and here are the relevant parts of the
listing for my setup:

-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     other      41704 Dec 28 17:26 libw.so.1

Notice in particular the entries for dev and lib.

I hope that this will help all those people wandering in the dark.

Regards

Nathan

It is very relevant IF you use an options to ls.  Using *just* ls causes
an internal routine to list out the directory.  Using options to ls
causes it to behave more like dir; hence, invoking /bin/ls.
