Table 3 New Options in WU-FTPD 2.6.1 (continued)
DescriptionOption
This option determines if user logins must be recorded in the /var/adm/wtmp and
/var/adm/btmp files.
-w and -W
This option does not save the output created by the -i and -o options to the /var/
adm/syslog/xferlog file but writes to the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
file.
-X
This option enables the use of Identification Protocol (RFC1413) to attempt to
determine the username on the client.
-I
These options run the daemon in standalone operation mode.-s and -S
These options override the control and the data port numbers that is used by the
daemon.
-c<ctrl port>
and -C<data
port>
For the HP-UX 11i v1 operating system, this option replaces the sendfiletransfer
option in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess configuration file.

ftprestart, ckconfig, ftpwho, privatepw and ftpshut)
-V
For more details on the new command-line options in WU-FTPD 2.6.1, type man 1M
ftpd at the HP-UX prompt.
IPv6 Support
To support IPv6 functionality, you must modify the /etc/inetd.conf file as follows:
ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/bin/ftpd ftpd -l
However, if you specify tcp instead of tcp6, FTP operates in the IPv4 mode.
Following are the features that support IPv6:
• Implementation of RFC 2428 (FTP Extensions for IPv6 and NATs)
This RFC specifies a method by which FTP clients and server exchange data
connection information, such as port, host address, and type of protocol family, for
both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
FTP uses EPRTand EPSV instead of PORTand PASV, respectively, for IPv6
connections.
◦ EPRT - Extended Port
This command specifies a host port for both IPv4 and IPv6 connections.
