Package: FTPD
Version: 0.17-29
I'm trying to resurrect #71171: How come this is still a bug 10 years
on...?
I have just come across this bug in Debian 2.6.26-13 lenny2 (all current and
stable).
FTPD is still the default FTP server for Debian after all these years, and
generally it works really well. However in the last few weeks I needed to
create some FTP accounts that were to be used by people other than myself (I
own the server so I didn't want these other users accessing files they
shouldn't be). So I configured "ftpchroot" to restrict them to their home
directories - this worked fine, however with only one problem - they can't
view the contents of their directories using FTP.
I have tried with FileZilla and with gFTP - both give the same result. They
allow each user to upload files but there is no directory listing.
The previous response to this bug was that it is not a bug and we just need
to copy the 'ls' command into the /lib folder... along with any other
libraries required. I tried copying 'ls' to the /lib folder but it didn't
fix the problem and I can't find any more documentation about it, so I think
we can define it as a bug until at least documentation is provided
indicating how it should be configured to work.
Cheers
Murray

Hi Murray,
This is not a bug "per se". If you chroot a proccess you must provide it
with its required libs and commands. Some applications may do that for
you, but it does not have to be their responsability. ftpd is a simple
ftp server, not meant to deal with virtual users, advanced ACLs or those
things you may require from a full fledged ftp service.
You may pick a different ftp daemon for this task, os simply use the
output from 'ldd /bin/ls' to populate a lib/ dir in your chroot (along
with bin/ls). ftpd won't do this for you, not now, not in the near
future unless someone develops this feature, which is complex, and that
doesn't seem probable.
Cheers,
Alberto
