WU-FTPD 2.6.1 Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v1, HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX 11i v3

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 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 version of WU-FTPD 2.6.1 available on the HP-UX 11i v1,
and HP-UX 11i v3 operating systems. It is available for download at:
