You need to copy ls from /bin to ~ftp/bin, since anonymous logins are
chroot()ed to ~ftp/, which means that ~ftp becomes the root directory (/)
for that process . See the ftpd(8) man page for instructions on setting up
anonymous logins.

Are you sure it compiled statically?  It's acting like it didn't.

You'd have to create ~ftp/usr/libexec/ and copy ld.so there.  But you need
to check and make extra sure that colorls was properly compiled.

Note that many ftp clients won't grok color ANSI codes properly, so this
is a bit of a waste, IMHO.
