I host a FTP server with proftpd on Cygwin/Windows 7. Unfortunately it does not work, as people can log in, but not view the directory listing. Cygwin users have guaranteed me this is a software issue and not a Cygwin issue, although I have no idea where to find the problem?

Apache works perfectly fine in hosting the files and Google does not help me much in finding the cause.
