Subject: WU-FTPD-VR Project Terminated

With the release of Version 2.5.0 from the WU-FTPD Development Group, and
after over a year of intensive development, the VR series of updates to the
daemon has come to an end.  The will be no VR18 version; instead I will be
directing my efforts toward the Development Group.

The primary distribution site for the most-current version of the daemon
has moved.  The primary distribution site for the WU-FTPD daemon is now:

  ftp://ftp.wu-ftpd.org/pub/wu-ftpd/

All sites mirroring FTP.VR.NET are asked to shift their mirrors to this new
site.  Please notify either me or the WU-FTPD Development Group,
mailto:[email-masked], once you have shifted your mirror.  Be
sure to include the URLs (even if they have not changed) so we can ensure
the mirrors listing is up-to-date.

To ease the transition, FTP.VR.NET is now mirroring FTP.WU-FTPD.ORG, and
will continue to do so for at least 90 days, after which FTP.VR.NET will no
longer carry WU-FTPD related material.

I wish to extend a heart-felt thank-you to all those who helped with the
development, testing and distribution of the VR series of updates to the
daemon.  I sincerely hope you will continue by showing your support for the
Development Group's efforts.

Hi,

Besides voting for the add of an overwrite+upload flag (see TODO file), i
would like to know if you're planning to modify the format of the file
'ftphosts' to accept groups (from /etc/group) as well as single user.

thanks

My pet project right now is a complete rewrite of how the daemon handles
configuration files.  I'm starting on ftpaccess since it's the biggest
mess.  I'd not yet considered what I want to do with ftphosts, but I'll
keep your suggestion in mind.  So your answer is a qualified 'yes'.
