Yep, have a look in /home/ftp/bin. Is the program
called 'ls' there? If yes, is it a dynamically 
linked version (noticable by a small-sized ls) ?

If it is a dynamically linked version, you have 
to put associated libraries in /home/ftp/lib.
Libs can be found with 'ldd ls'. Normally, this would
be libc.so.x and ld.so.x I think.

Check out that you actually have the libs that
ls needs, so it is no use to have ls use libc5,
if it is a libc6 executable...

You are better of finding a statically linked ls
or compile one yourself
and put it in ~bin. Then you do not need all these
libraries...
