[ale] FTP Server on Linux

[Matthew Brown]

This still doesn't do it for me.  What does ~ftp/bin mean?  I'd have thought
this would mean that there is a /bin diretory out there under an ftp
directory.  Clearly I'm off here.

I copied /bin/ls and the 2 libs referenced by the ldd, and still nothing.

Hmmm..

Thanks!
