I hope you're using 'guestgroup ftponly'

The 'cannot see files' problem is the FAQ about 'bin/ls won't work'.  The
'cannot go anywhere' is not true but the client you're using may be
unwilling because of the bin/ls problem.

I have been trying to get ftpd to work with guest accounts.
I followed the a working example from Michael
Brennen                                            ([email-masked])
but everytime I have the line
'guestaccount ftponly' in the ftpaccess file, I manage to log in but I
dont see any directory or files and cant go anywhere.
If I comment out the guestaccount, I log on with no problem but I dont
want people to have access to the whole drive.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
