We plan to use FreeBSD as a FTP Server to monitor the transfer rate of our Motorola CableRouter. I setup an anonymous FTP client, but I would rather setup an ordinary FTP client that would log through the user/passwd scheme. This client should not be allowed anywhere but the the directory where we hold the downloadable files we use to measure the performance of cable modems on the field. The setup was straightforward. I closely follow the instructions, along with the manual (man descriptions). I setup an anonymous client that created the directory structure I needed automatically (incoming, pub, etc, bin) along with all the necessary files. I modified the FTPUSER file to include the ANONYMOUS user, so the systen would deny anonymous access. I created a file named FTPCHROOT and included in it a client TECH so it would follow an anonymous client behavior with the same restricted privilege. Everything is just fine, execpt in one point: When the user TECH logs in, he does not see any directory nor file informations; just a blank screen. LS and CD are useless. Nothing seem to happen. I uploaded a file, and checked the server: the file appeared on the server. But nothing on the client side. I just cant see files. What's wrong ? Please help.
