There are actually two problems here -- VxWorks doesn't return the
output of a LIST command in a format commonly recognized by most
FTP servers. The other problem is that the LIST command accepts
no arguments, such as the name of a file to list or a file name
with wildcards. LIST always returns a listing for -all- the files
in the current directory, including the two header lines displayed
above, no matter what the arguments to the LIST command are. As
far as I know there is no way to change that behavior, short of
porting some other FTP server over to VxWorks. I wound up having
to write special code for a program running on a PC in order to be
able to access files on a VxWorks server via FTP.

Just had the same prob using CuteFTP 2.6 and CrystalFTP 1.0a. I think they
need the std. list answer of a original unix like ftp server.

I called the support hotline and got a TSR for it. At the same day they send
me an eMail with the object code of the revised ftpLib (ftpLib.o) and the
new ftpLib.h.
Also they told me that this problem is already fixed in the new Tornado II.
But ... Tornado II will be avialable in Feb. or Mar. ´99.

Today I tested the new ftpdLib.o and it works fine with the client CuteFTP
2.6. The client CrystalFTP 1.0a still does not work, maybe it´s scan routine
is not that flexible.
The answer of the updated vxWorks ftp server looks like this:
ol@broserv01:/home/ol > ftp 192.168.0.4
Connected to 192.168.0.4.
