> Where can I get the latest version of wu-ftpd?

The location is: 
   ftp://ftp.academ.com/pub/wu-ftpd/private/wu-ftpd-2.4.2-beta-10.tar.Z

BTW: someone got BETA 10 work properly?
Mine works but does not reads the ftpaccess file, so
no limit are set as well no banners. So I'm back
to 2.4-academ.

Any hint? (Sol 2.5 - GCC 2.7.2)

Kind regards,
Luc

I'm just installing this (BETA 10) for the first time and I was wondering why I couldn't get the server to run with "-a" option.  For what it's worth exactly the same configuration here.  

The server will just send -

    Name (web2): garry
    221 Server shutting down.  Goodbye.

unless "-A" is used.  This what I get after installation.

Hm, if you checkthe ftpaccess file, trace the shutdown message
and check it exist.

The problem you having seems to me like that because the shutdown
message exist somewhere wu-ftpd doesn't accept any request.

BTW: what does the -A/a will do?, I tought that all options
(cmd line options) were take out.

You could start ftpd via tcp_wrapper (which gives you a lot more security
options) and let it set the umask at the same time.

Use a recent version of tcp_wrapper.

By the way, that ftpd will happily keep hanging connections forever (at least
that is my experience).

Yes!  You were right.  I renamed the message and that did it.

Thanks.  I guess RTFM is the way :-).  

The "-a" option on wu-ftpd causes the server to read and use the ftpaccess
file on start up.  The "-A" is just the opposite -- it behaves like the
default ftpd server, not requiring the ftpaccess file.

With a command-line ftp client, it's

site umask 077

or if the client doesn't do 'site', it's

quote site umask 077
