I merged Chris Myers' wuarchive ftpd enhancements into the 386bsd
ftpd. This is an enhancement of the existing ftpd code so that it
will handle access control lists, extensive logging and automaticly
tar and/or compress.
So, now we can set up 386bsd anon ftp servers without having to keep
two copies of each package, one set of files and one archive. We can
just make our installed working copy available.
It is distributed as two compressed tar archives. ftpd-0.0.tar.Z is
the sources and ftpd-0.0-bin.tar.Z is the executable, data files and
man page. They are in pub/386bsd/submissions on nova.cc.purdue.edu
(128.210.7.22), /packages on ref.tfs.com (140.145.254.251), and
possibly agate.berkeley.edu (128.32.136.1) somewhere in in pub/386BSD
(if cgd decides to put it there).
There is a ftpd mailing list on ref.tfs.com. Sign up if you are
interested in further enhancemnts, etc.
To install the executables in ftpd-0.0-bin.tar.Z:
uncompress ftpd-0.0-bin.tar.Z; tar xf ftpd-0.0-bin.tar
copy bin/ftpd into /usr/libexec
copy ftpaccess and/or groupaccess files to /etc and edit them
according to the description in the CHANGES file. Copy the msgs/*
files somewhere and put their location in the ftpaccess file.
if you want to create an anon ftp account:
use vipw to create a ftp userid:
ftp::9:10::0:0:FTP File Transfer,,,:/home/ftp:/bin/true
mkdir ~ftp ~ftp/bin
cp /bin/compress /bin/tar /bin/ls ~ftp/bin
