ive been trying to use gftp and im getting the following error
"Warning: Cannot parse listing /bin/ls: can't open cache
'/etc/ld.so.cache'"
and of course remote listings fail ??.
but what has /etc/ld.so.cache got to do with this

what does this mean ??.

this looks like a problem on the server, anonymous ftp is usually dropped into a chroot jail with a copy of /bin/ls which of course needs a lib or two which are also copied, sometimes a ld.so.cache is created there as well, in this case it seems to be wrong or corrupted.

im not sure why the ld.so.cache would be needed really, i don't have one on my ftp server and ls works fine.
