Announcement
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) enables you to transfer files between a client host system
and a remote server host system. On the client system, a file transfer program provides
a user interface to FTP; on the server, the requests are handled by the FTP daemon, ftpd.
WU-FTPD 2.6.1 is an HP implementation of the FTP daemon based on the replacement
FTP daemon, developed at Washington University.
WU-FTPD 2.6.1 is the latest version of WU-FTPD 2.6.1 available on the HP-UX 11i v1,
and HP-UX 11i v3 operating systems. It is available for download at:

For the HP-UX 11i v2 operating system, WU-FTPD 2.6.1 is available in the core HP-UX
