Topic

Updated ftp packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

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

This update adds the following enhancement:

  • Previously, the command line width in the ftp client was limited to 200

characters. With this update, the maximum possible length of the FTP command
line is extended to 4296 characters. (BZ#665240)

All users of ftp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add
this enhancement.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
