using mirror.pl with wu-ftpd-2.5.0-9 I am able to mirror directories correctly. When I upgrade to wu-ftpd-2.6.0-1 mirror.pl no longer works. The first error that appears (when using '-d -d -d' to increase debugging info) is in response to: LIST -lRAT The contents of the directory is listed correctly but then the words: 'timed out' appear instead of '226 Transfer complete' Later in the process I get the message: 'Failed to put <file>' Still later I get: "'SITE CHMOD 666': command not understood" (presumable because it's trying to chmod a file that isn't there based on the previous error?) Eventually I get the message: '426 Data Connection: Connection reset by peer' The files do not get mirrored. I can recreate the error by uninstalling the old package and reinstalling the new one. I can remove it by reverting to the old package (I uninstall the new one first). I can provide output from running mirror.pl in both cases as well as the mirror confguration file as needed.
This is a bug in mirror (see http://www.wu-ftpd.org/broken-clients.html). We've fixed it a while ago in mirror-2.9-6. Sorry for the delay, we just changed wu-ftpd maintainers.
