Anyone have a working FTP?

If anyone has a working ftp server (ftpd) on their uClinux box please, tell me how you got it to work. By working I mean that you can upload to it and see the directory structure and dowload from it....

Thank you for the response Ken.

My problem is that on a default installation of uClinux 1.4 with a Microtronix Open Cores MAC, the FTP server (ftpd) does not allow me to "see" the directory structure or download from it. (It does allow me to upload files to the /home/ftp directory, which is mapped to a ramdisk)

If I do a ./restore_my_flash thing (factory kernel, filesystem and EPC12 layout) the FTP server works correctly, allows me to log in with user=nios pass=uClinux and allows me to navigate anywhere and upload and download files.

I'm wondering what settings I need to get the FTP server working properly?? (allowing me to see files, and download, not just upload files) (I have tried to copy the rc file and passwd and group files, does not seem to help)

Is the included FTP server crippled in some way?
