is ftpd changed compared to 6.2?
all normal clients (like classic ftp, lftp) works fine, unix mozilla
ftp client, and few winftp clients shows empty catalog.
i know that's crappy clients, but worked with 6.2 (i think ;)
any solution? (except the best - changing to working clients)
You might try using the PASSIV switch.
That could be it, but I really doubt it, here's the output
from 2 different systems I have, one running 6.2 the other 6.3:

See the difference? There ISN'T any. It's the same
program.
Likely he just made a mistake and selected lukeftpd in
the inetd.conf file rather than the normal ftpd.
He would also need to select the passive switch in the
client, not the server, with whatever radio button
it uses.

I guess my response wasn't as clear as I thought it was. Ftp clients
have a default for passive mode. Some default to using it and others
to having it off. I have encountered ftp clients in the PC world that
have problems with the default mode. Often its because of a firewall
issue somewhere along the line. Changing that setting in the client
by using the PASSIV command often works for me.
