ps does not show the process running if I use my programs (compiled 
against uclibc) but it does with your ftpd and the busybox httpd.  I will 
delete my versions.

Can I test these programs on a single machine with no ethernet card? I 
tried both lynx 127.0.0.1 (or localhost) and the IP number assigned when I 
connect to the ISP, both of which I can ping.

Your ftpd is 5% the size of pure-ftpd.  It will allow file transfers
via ethernet cable from a Windows computer which has no httpd or ftpd or 
scpd.

Please explain the lines:

flag OR 1 => right to (APPE, STOR, STOU)
flag OR 2 => right to (APPE, CHMOD, DELE, MKD, RMD, RNFR, RNTO)
use EOF to ensure the end of file...

Can you provide a minimal ftp program?  BL3 has ftpput (and busybox also 
has ftpget but bl3 has wget instead).  I use kermit ftp.
