wuftpd command on the HP-UX prompt. The enable_inet status wuftpd command

running the following command at the HP-UX prompt before installing the GR patch in

This command reverts the system to the base version of FTPD (WU-FTPD 2.4) that is
delivered with the core HP-UX 11i v1 operating system.
If you wish to upgrade your operating system and if the Web upgrade version of WU-FTPD
is enabled on the existing operating system, you must revert to the previous version of
WU-FTPD using the enable_inet -r wuftpd command before upgrading the

system, revert to the previous version of WU-FTPD using the enable_inet -r wuftpd
command, before reinstalling the Web upgrade.
