lynx-dev Bug in FTP access to wuftp

[Webmaster Jim]

This is not a bug in Lynx, except to the extent that Lynx cannot view
FTP directories that are set up with wuftp. In trying to build the Lynx
FTP site, I've found that directory listings are missing when the wuftp
server uses the "virtual FTP" service. As an example, the ftp.wustl site
is running this server; I see this with command line ftp:

/jes> ftp wuarchive.wustl.edu
Connected to wuarchive.wustl.edu.
220 wuarchive.wustl.edu FTP server (Version wu-2.4.2-academ[BETA-16](1) Wed Apr

 1998) ready.

ftp> dir

If anyone can help me figure how to set up the ftpd so that full
directory listings are published, the Lynx FTP site will get going that
much sooner...
