WU-FTPD 2.6.2 and HPUX

[Chris Magargee_2]

From my research it appears that the current release and patching for HPUX ftpd is based uopon WU-FTPD 2.6.1. Are there any plans to go to WU-FTPD 2.6.2?

Shalom,

HP provides people with software service contracts binary upgrades of the wu-ftpd daemon.

This includes at least security features from the latest release.

I think more effort is not made because openssh, secure shell is a much better, more secure way to perform this function.

Thanks for the response! Actually we are trying to push our folks to OpenSSH so we can turn off ftpd, but unfortunately it is embedded in applications and some rework has to take place.

Thanks!
Chris
