Description Per Steinar Iversen 2001-11-13 07:56:34 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5) Gecko/20011012

Description of problem:
ncftp can not connect to a host supporting both IPv4 and IPv6
if the connecting host only supports IPv4. ncftp then fails with:

Could not get a socket: Address family not supported by protocol.
Could not open host <hostname>: could not get a new stream socket.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Setup ftp host that supports both IPv4 and IPv6
2.Add both A and AAAA records in DNS for the ftp host.
3.Try to connect with ncftp
	

Actual Results:  No connection created.

Expected Results:  Norman ftp connected.

Additional info:

It is possible to use the ftp command supplied with RH 7.2, it does not
have this problem, but is not as nice as ncftp.

Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-11-20 12:23:15 EST

Fixed in 3.0.4-2

Comment 2 Yusuf Goolamabbas 2002-01-28 08:59:46 EST

Bero, Can this be pushed out as an errata

Comment 3 Pekka Savola 2002-03-13 07:50:20 EST

I'm not personally sure if that's warranted.. there are only few ftp servers
with both addresses in
the same name.
