RHBA-2007:0177 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated ftp packages that fix a bug are now available.

Description

The ftp package provides the standard UNIX command-line FTP (File Transfer
Protocol) client. FTP is a widely used protocol for transferring files
over the Internet and for archiving files.

When the ftp client ran on a multihomed host it could use different source IP
addresses for control and data connections, which did not work with some
FTP servers.

Users of ftp should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve this
issue.
