wu-ftp version with HP/UX 11.00?

[Justin Willoughby]

How can I tell what version of wu-ftp is running on my HP/UX 11.00 box? I understand that wu-ftp is the default ftp server for HP/UX 11.00

Thanks,

- Justin

James,

Can I compare the what output with the version of wu-ftp as can be downloaded on the net?

# what /usr/lbin/ftpd

Actually, the first couple of releases of HP-UX 11 had the same ftpd as 10.20, the use of wu-ftpd started with a post 11.0 MR patch.

IIRC, the latest HP-supplied and blessed wu-ftpd is available for no-charge download off of software.hp.com. It will (assuming I'm up to date myself :) identify itself as this in swlist:

# swlist | grep -i ftp WU-FTP-261 B.11.00.01.001 WU-FTPD-2.6.1 special release upgrade

the "what" on that ftpd on my box shows:

# what /usr/lbin/ftpd
/usr/lbin/ftpd:

I guess I will get the most current version from software.hp.com, anyone know why the most current version is not part of a patch for ftp?

Also, if I install the wu-ftpd from software.hp.com will hp relase patches for this and include it like patches for other products?

As for why the latest version isn't simply a patch well... Lets just say that the rules for what may and may not be a patch are interesting... :)
