[SLUG] ftp security (was wu-ftpd)

I've got wu-ftpd running -- thanks Matt.

given the following directory structure: /home/guest
where: /home/guest has ~/bin ~/etc ~/lib and ~/files
and:
chmod 777 /home/guest/files (for testing only)
chown -R guest.guest /home/guest/files

1. If I ftp in from the command line I can successfully:
        ftp> ls /home/guest/files
        ftp> get /home/guest/files/myfile
        ftp> put /home/guest/files/mifile

2. If I use gFTP I can only drill down as far as:
        /home/guest/files
        I can't see the files within ~/files and I can't see a subdirectory of
~/files.

Any ideas why?

Thanks
