it's not a bug actually, it has to be x86_64 but redhat gives just i386 version that's why... just get the gftp source rpm and rebuild with "--target x86_64" option like this: rpmbuild --rebuild gftp-foo.src.rpm --target x86_64 and then, remove i386 one and install new x86_64 package... I have the same issue and I tried your sollution and it still does not work. x86_64 platform, Dell, REL 4 WS. Every time I try and download it crashes. Created attachment 120719 [details]
gftp-64-bit-fixes.patch
Fix backported from upstream
I'm seeing this same behaviour in gftp-2.0.17-5.x86_64. I tried several ftp sites (including the bookmark to RH Updates) and while it connects okay, every time I try a transfer (in either direction) gftp immediately segfaults after creating an empty file. I can however rename and delete files without problem (locally and remotely) - just transfers are a problem. Building from the source RPM (I tried both 2.0.17-3 and 2.0.17-5) made no difference. This is RHEL WS 4, fully patched as of 4/20/2006. I can confirm this bug - I also see it on our RHEL WS 4 x86_64 using even the updated 2.0.17-5 version. Are we supposed to do anything with the "gftp-64-bit-fixes.patch" attachment of Bastien and if so, what? After a bit more digging, I found that the guys at Fedora (actually the gftp programmer) solved it with version 2.0.18 of gftp (see www.gftp.org): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=140567 I downloaded and built it from the source - runs fine! Curiously enough, that version 2.0.18 dates from January 2005 - before this RHEL bug appeared... %-) Patch has been included in gftp-2.0.17-6 An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below.
