Not being an expert, but someone taking a guess.

The problem with real users denied access is that there needs to be an
/etc/shells file with a format like

# /etc/shells - this file exists for wu-ftp
/bin/sh
/bin/csh

and this file needs to list all the shells that users could login with or
they will be denied access if that user's shell is not listed.

The other problem has to do with making ls available for execution to the
users. Place a copy of ls in the ~ftp/bin directory that shoudl help.
