Full Version: HOWTO: ncFTP 3.1.5 Client (RH/Ensim)

We're pleased to provide an update to ncFTP Client 3.1.5 for RedHat 7.2 based systems (Ensim included).

3.1.5 addresses a minor security issue where a malicious or trojaned FTP server could send back pathnames with directories different from the directory requested. ( http://www.ncftp.com/ncftp/doc/changelog.html#3.1.5 )

You can find this update at

http://www.webppliance.info

NOTE: If you are using Ameen's backup script for Ensim, you will need to change the various ftp lines to start with:

ncftpput -m -u $ftpuser -p $ftppass $ftphost


This is due to a change in the parameter handling logic in ncFTP 3.1x

NOTE: If you are using Ameen's backup script for Ensim, you will need to change the FTP= line to:  
FTP=`ncftpput -u $ftpuser -p $ftppass $ftphost ./ /tmp/uploadtest >/tmp/.ftptest 2>&1`


Yes, that did the trick! We're back(up) in business again. icon_biggrin.gif
Thanks a million, Gpan!
