Compatibility Information
Customers currently using WU-FTPD 2.4 do not need to modify their configuration file.
WU-FTPD 2.4 is compatible with this release of WU-FTPD. However, HP recommends
you to use the WU-FTPD 2.6.1 configuration file delivered with this release to effectively
use the new features and changes incorporated in WU-FTPD 2.6.1.
You must modify your configuration settings only for the following instances:
• If you are upgrading to WU-FTPD 2.6.1 on an HP-UX 11i v1 operating system, you
must consider the following:
◦ The sendfiletransfer option in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess configuration
file is replaced with the -U option in WU-FTPD 2.6.1.
◦ The suppresshostname and suppressversion options in WU-FTPD 2.4
are replaced with the new greeting option in WU-FTPD 2.6.1.
For more information on WU-FTPD 2.4, see the WU-FTPD 2.4 Release Notes at
www.hp.com/go/hpux-networking-docs.
NOTE: WU-FTPD 2.6.1 does not support sublogins for an anonymous FTP user.
The suppresshostname and suppressversion options that were present
in the previous version of WU-FPTD are removed from the
/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file because features provided by these options are
already present in the new greeting option. If you are using any of these
options, you need to modify your /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess configuration file
accordingly. For more information on these options, type man 4 ftpaccess
at the HP-UX prompt.
The option sendfiletransfer in the ftpaccess configuration file are
replaced with -U option in ftpd.
Installing WU-FTPD 2.6.1
To install WU-FTPD 2.6.1, run the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
$ swinstall -s <source>
where <source> is the location to which you downloaded the WU-FTPD depot.
NOTE: The installation of this upgrade kills all the instances of ftpd(1M) and it does
not restart ftpd(1M) because ftpd(1M) is usually invoked by inetd(1M). If ftpd(1M) is
running in standalone mode (using the -S or -s option), ftpd(1M) must be restarted
manually after installing this upgrade.
The WU-FTPD 2.6.1 files are installed in the /usr/contrib/wuftpd directory. During
installation, the /usr/bin/enable_inet script backs up the existing WU-FTPD files
