the easy way out is to install a statically linked version of ls
to ~ftp/bin directory. the other alternative is to duplicate the
necessary files (i think you'll need at least the shared
libraries in addition to /dev/zero). (all this is because ftpd
does chroot to the home directory and therefore can't access
these files any longer.)
