Hello All,
I've got such problem: when I run "ls" without arguments in "ftp" I got a
junk listing. "ls -lA" works perfectly.
What is more, when I write a simple program using "opendir...readdir" it
shows just the same junk listing, when compiling with "cc" from Solaris
package, and when I maked it with "gcc" everything became all right. And, of
course in terminal shell "ls" works perfectly. What can I do?
Here are some information:
----/etc/passwd line--------
guest:x:1007:10:test-don't delete:/export/home/alex/guest/:/bin/csh
----/etc/ftpaccess----------
class all real,guest,anonymous *
limit all 10 Any /etc/msgs/msg.dead
readme README* login
readme README* cwd=*
message /welcome.msg login
message .message cwd=*
compress yes local remote
tar yes local remote
log commands real
log transfers anonymous,real inbound,outbound
shutdown /etc/shutmsg

-----THE PROBLEM---------------

Alexis,

A *guess* is that your file name(s) have "funny" characters in them,
specifically some with the top bit set. CC might use a form of char
that retains the bit, while gcc might not. Similary, ftp might pass
the "funny" characters to your shell uncorrected, whereas ls might
strip out the funny bit [although I've never seen ls do this!].

Try `ls -a | cat -v' or even `echo * | cat -v' and see if cat -v
prints out any non-printing characters.

Other than this - weird!
