     Mark, 
     
     To get ls,dir,pwd,etc. to work on my AIX boxes, I had to add the ls 
     command to the ~ftp/bin directory and libc.a to the ~ftp/lib 
     directory.  To get compress,tar,etc. to work, I had to add libbsd.a, 
     libcurses.a, and libs.a to the ~ftp/lib directory.
     
     Hope this helps,
