We need to see what you see once you've logged in and typed done ``cd incoming''. If you don't get an error message, then the change of directory is probably working. I suspect the problem may be that you don't have a ~ftp/bin directory containing an ls binary, as explained in the ftpd(8) manpage. When you have no ls binary, you can's see files. That doesn't mean you can't change directory or get files. Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
