Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

When telnetting with Putty, the console is usually colored to distinguish between files, folder and their permissions etc. Not any more, it's all monochrome and uninformative. What did I do to deserve this?

You installed coreutils, I suppose. coreutils comes with a different ls program.
ls --color=auto
will show colors. Of course, you don't like typing that. The usual approach is to alias ls in /ffp/etc/profile or ~/.profile:
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
Often, Linux distributions add more options to ls, e.g (taken from slackware):
alias ls='ls -F -b -T 0 --color=auto'
Another method, if you like busybox, is to remove coreutils ls and relink busybox:
rm /ffp/bin/ls ln -s busybox /ffp/bin/ls

I also lose colours if I put alias ls="al -al|more" in my ffp/etc/profile. How can I get them back? I have tried
alias ls='ls --color=auto -al', but what about the '|more'?
thanks

I sure did. Thanks fonz for sorting things out. I went with this:
