WU-FTPD 2.6.1 Release Notes (5900-2465, September 2012)

Example 13 LPASV Command Output
The following displays the output for the LPASV command:
ftp> passive
Passive mode on.
-------> LPSV
228 Entering Long Passive Mode (6,16,254,128,0,0,0,0,0,0, 2,96,176,255,254,193,123,47,2,134,7)

The FTP session command longaddr toggles the use of the LPRT (extended port) and LPSV
(extended passive) commands. For more information on the -l option, type man 1 ftp at the
HP-UX prompt.
HP-Specific features
HP has introduced the following features in WU-FTPD 2.6.1:
• Command-Line Options
Following are the options included in WU-FTPD 2.6.1:
◦ -m number_of_tries
Specifies the number of tries for a bind() socket call.
◦ -n nice_value
Sets the nice value for an WU-FTPD process. When using this option, ensure that the nice
clause in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file (see ftpaccess(4)) is not set.
◦ -B
Sets the buffer size of the data socket to blocks of 1024 bytes. The valid range for size
is from 1 to 64 (default is 56).
NOTE: A large buffer size improves the performance of WU-FTPD 2.6.1 on fast links
(for example, FDDI) but may cause long connection times on slow links (for example,
X.25).
◦ -p and -P
The -p option is used to allow private port access to the client. The -P option is used to
allow third party access and private port access.
These options are also available in WU-FTPD 2.4. These options do not exist in the
open-sourced version of WU-FTPD 2.6.1 but have been incorporated in HP’s port of
WU-FTPD for backward compatibility.
Other features
In addition to the features discussed in the previous sections, WU-FTPD 2.6.1 supports the following
features:
• Files greater than 2 GB
• Large user IDs (UIDs) and group IDs (GIDs)
• Trusted system features
Changed and removed features
There are no changed or removed features in WU-FTPD 2.6.1.
