WU-FTPD 2.6.1 Release Notes (September 2008)

Announcement
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) enables you to transfer files between a client host
system and a remote server host system. On the client system, a file transfer program
provides a user interface to the FTP; on the server, the requests are handled by the FTP
daemon, ftpd.
WU-FTPD 2.6.1 is an HP implementation of the FTP daemon based on the replacement
FTP daemon developed at Washington University.
WU-FTPD 2.6.1 is the latest Web upgrade version of WU-FTPD 2.6.1 available on the
HP-UX 11.0, HP–UX 11i v1, and HP-UX 11i v3 operating systems. It is available for
download at:
http://h20293.www2.hp.com/
For the HP-UX 11i v1 operating system, WU-FTPD 2.6.1 adds new functionality to
WU-FTPD 2.4, which is delivered as part of the core HP-UX 11i v1 operating system.
For the HP-UX 11.0 operating system, you can upgrade to WU-FTPD 2.6.1 from either
the legacy FTP version, which is delivered with the core HP-UX 11.0 operating system,
or from WU-FTPD 2.4, which was released initially as PHNE_14479. To ensure that
you have the latest patch, visit http://www.itrc.hp.com.
NOTE: As of the initial release of HP-UX 11i v3, this product is added to a new
software bundle. As a result, the product can now be updated through an HP-UX 11i
v3 Operating Environment Update Release (OEUR). It can also be updated through
the Application Release (AR) media, through web-releases, and through patches.
IMPORTANT: If you do not wish to use the new features of WU-FTPD 2.6.1, you need
not modify your existing configuration settings apart from certain exceptions discussed
in “Compatibility Information” (page 30).
