I was patching my anon ftp server from 2.5.0-9 to 2.6-1. After installing the 2.6-1 RPM (with -Uvh flags) I could not get a direstory listing in /home/ftp by using plain ls. If I did ls -l they would show up. I tried this on all the sub dirs and ls worked fine there. Then I uninstalled wu-ftpd 2.6-1, reinstalled it the results were the same. Then I uninstalled anonftp and wu-ftpd 2.6-1, reinstalled them and the results were the same. Then I uninstalled anonftp and wu-ftpd 2.6-1 again, and this time put back the original anonftp(2.8-1) and the original wu-ftpd(2.5.0-9) from the RedHat 6.1 CD. After this it is working the same way it always has. Lawrence Knachel lknachel "The problem with slashdot is that it should be first patch, not first post." -Alan Cox
It's not a bug, it's a feature. The NLST code in wu-ftpd has been modified to do what the RFCs want it to do, causing mget to work correctly (i.e. don't list directories).
