Description Rick Zhong Liming 2005-10-20 16:54:43 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; InfoPath.1)

Description of problem:
I am using Redhat EL3 (AS) Taroon Update 5 with kernel 2.4.21-32.0.1.ELsmp. The vsftpd.conf is in /etc/vsftpd and it is started by "service vsftpd start".

The vsftpd configuration is mostly in default settings. I have tested a number some other vsftpd version (v1.2.2 rpm package for rh9), also encounter this problem. I have also tuned some of the vsftpd configuratons such as "enable chroot user", "enable ascii upload" etc and this bug is reproduced in all the tests. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vsftpd-1.2.1-3E.1 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch 2 ftp connections to the ftp server
2.start uploading a file from both connections to the same destination folder
3.make sure both connections are transfering the same file simultaneously 
  

Actual Results:  the resulting upload will be corrupted with file size around double of the orginal file

Expected Results:  A correct copy of upload from the most recent transfer (the connection which ends later )

Additional info:

It seems that the two ftp transfer streams somehow merged due to the identical file name.

Hi, can you send me the patch for testing? or do i have to request through my 
redhat channel?

Created attachment 120244 [details]
rename patch for vsftpd-1.2.1

This patch renames the target file and overwrites the same file.. 

Would be great if you can test it and prove that it's correct.
