Need?

Require?  No.

Might want?  Yes.  If you want to allow compression or tar on-the-fly (via
ftpconversions) you'll need tar/compress/gzip/gunzip.  The binaries area
for intel/linux contains a ftp-bin tarball which has statically-linked
versions of app the glue currently used by the example ftpconversios..
RH's anon-ftp installs the same set, plush cpio (for what reason I don't
know) with all the needed glue.

In /dev the only required device is /dev/null
