Well, ls color is kind of a hack, and it can cause problems if you use it
through telnet since it has no way to know if your terminal really can do
color, but if you want , try this:

alias ls="/bin/ls --color"

LS_COLORS="no=00:fi=00:di=01;34:ln=01;36:pi=40;33:so=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:ex=01;32:*.cmd=01;32:*.exe=01;32:*.com=01;32:*.btm=01;32:*.bat=01;32:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31:*.arj=01;31:*.taz=01;31:*.lzh=01;31:*.zip=01;31:*.z=01;31:*.Z=01;31:*.gz=01;31:*.jpg=01;35:*.gif=01;35:*.bmp=01;35:*.xbm=01;35:*.xpm=01;35:*.tif=01;35:*.tga=01;35:"

That should get you color filenames , this will only last till you log out
to make it stick put the above 2 lines in .profile
