I sent an earlier mail concerning static 'ls' and dot files
in the output of 'ls'.  I have since figured out the static
'ls' but my other problem has grown a bit.

here is a quick scenario.  I have 2 external ftp servers.
ftpserver1 has never had wu-ftpd running correctly on it
so it has never been implemented.  rather than debug someone
elses mess I built a new ftpserver (ftpserver2) from scratch.

both servers are on the external side of our firewall.  now, if
I ftp into ftpserver2 (new server) from ftpserver1 (old server)
I pretty much get what I expect from an ls output.  if I log
into the same server (ftpserver2) from elsewhere on the web (say
an old account I have from an university) I get a much different
output from the ls command.  I get an 'ls -al' from just the
ls command (no -al).

anyone?
