1) are there programs like gzip and tar in the ~ftp/bin/ftp-exec/ directory?
(or for 'real', i.e. non-anon, users: /bin/ftp-exec/)
2) if yes, are they statically linked (ldd filename will tell you)
3) if no, put them there
4) if that doesn't work, check the sources to see what FTP_EXEC_PATH or
something like that is set to in pathnames.c
5) do not use /bin there... it could be a security problem. Make a separate
directory with the executables you want users to be able to execute
