It sounds like your ls was linked with the shared C library (-lc_s).
In ~ftp, make a directory called ``shlib'' and copy /shlib/libc_s to
~ftp/shlib.  That should fix the problem.

Ftpd does a chroot(2) system call when the anonymous user logs in, in order
to provide protection for files on the system.  After the chroot, /shlib
is not accessible for ~ftp/bin/ls, so the ftp area needs to have its own
copy.

Alternatively, if you have source, you can recompile ls and link it with
the non-shared library and avoid all of this hassle.
