I have set up an anonymous ftp account on our 4D/280S.

All works fine, including long listings ("ls -l").

BUT "ls -l" produces GID and UID instead of group names and user names.

The "ftpd" man page says that $HOME/etc/group and $HOME/etc/passwd should
have permissions 444 in order for group and user names be displayed with
the "ls -l" command...

This does not work for me...

Any suggestions???

Thanks,
