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

Compatibility and installation information
This section describes the compatibility and installation requirements.
Compatibility information
Customers currently using WU-FTPD 2.4 do not need to modify their configuration file. WU-FTPD
2.4 is compatible with this release of WU-FTPD. However, HP recommends you to use the WU-FTPD
2.6.1 configuration file delivered with this release to effectively use the new features and changes
incorporated in WU-FTPD 2.6.1.
You must modify your configuration settings only for the following instances:
• If you are upgrading to WU-FTPD 2.6.1 on an HP-UX 11i v1 operating system, you must
consider the following:
◦ The sendfiletransfer option in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess configuration file is
replaced with the -U option in WU-FTPD 2.6.1.
◦ The suppresshostname and suppressversion options in WU-FTPD 2.4 are replaced
with the new greeting option in WU-FTPD 2.6.1.
For more information on WU-FTPD 2.4, see the WU-FTPD 2.4 Release Notes at
www.hp.com/go/hpux-networking-docs.
NOTE: WU-FTPD 2.6.1 does not support sublogins for an anonymous FTP user.
The suppresshostname and suppressversion options that were present in the
previous version of WU-FPTD are removed from the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file because
features provided by these options are already present in the new greeting option. If
you are using any of these options, you need to modify your /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess
configuration file accordingly. For more information on these options, type man 4
ftpaccess at the HP-UX prompt.
The option sendfiletransfer in the ftpaccess configuration file are replaced with
-U option in ftpd.
Installing WU-FTPD 2.6.1
To install WU-FTPD 2.6.1, run the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
$ swinstall -s <source>
where <source> is the location to which you downloaded the WU-FTPD depot.
NOTE: The installation of this upgrade kills all the instances of ftpd(1M) and it does not restart
ftpd(1M) because ftpd(1M) is usually invoked by inetd(1M). If ftpd(1M) is running in standalone
mode (using the -S or -s option), ftpd(1M) must be restarted manually after installing this upgrade.
The WU-FTPD 2.6.1 files are installed in the /usr/contrib/wuftpd directory. During installation,
the /usr/bin/enable_inet script backs up the existing WU-FTPD files in the
/usr/contrib/wuftpd/save_custom/backup directory and enables the higher version of
WU-FTPD by linking the new files to existing file locations.
The enable_inet -r wuftpd command enables you to revert to the previous version of
WU-FTPD. To enable the newer version of WU-FTPD, you must run the enable_inet wuftpd
command on the HP-UX prompt. The enable_inet status wuftpd command displays the
currently active version of WU-FTPD.
If you want to install a general release (GR) patch, you must disable WU-FTPD 2.6.1 by running
the following command at the HP-UX prompt before installing the GR patch in an HP-UX 11i v1
system:
/usr/bin/enable_inet -r wuftpd
