Hello,
My question was :

Answer from "Gernot M. Fuchs" <gfuchs_at_golay.med.unc.edu>:
For compress: start compress as ftp and check which dynamic libs you need and
copy them to the ftp home dir, too. The better solution however would be to
recompile compress with static libs.

The documentation told to copy in ~ftp /etc/sia/siainitgood - you have
to copy the entire /etc/sia directory and everything works fine.
> Second, DU command "compress" is a dynamically linked binary. As I

Try to get the sources and compile with static option...
