developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
pkgsrc fix: try to make it work on Solaris.
Version 1.2.3
- --------------------------------
* Fixed bug in waitpid handling in daemon mode.
* Added optional xferlog logging.
* Added -q option to set the source IP of the outgoing control
connection (which set also the IP for data connections).
Version 1.2.2 - 16122003asg
- --------------------------------
* Fixed a error in ending an connection after receiving "QUIT".
* Added support for configuration files. Two new parameters are
added for this. (-f and -F)
* renamed `dcp' to `ctp' because we thought that `connection translation
programs' gives a better idea of what the really do.
Version 1.2.1 - 19082003asg
- --------------------------------
* Fixed a bug in dologin.
Now the use of ftp.proxy with a fixed server works again.
Version 1.2.0 - 11072003asg
- --------------------------------
* Looking in this file this numbering scheme displeased me.
From now on every beta release get a subnumber and official
releases a major number.
So this new release will start with 1.2.0
Version 1.1.7.pre3 - 09072003asg
- --------------------------------
* Fixed missing line in the do_login function. Could solve unexpected
behaviour of ftp.proxy.
Mentioned by Michael A. Meiszl and Rasca Gmelch.
Version 1.1.7.pre2 - 06042003asg
- --------------------------------
* Another attempt to deal with an old problem: Suppose the client
lists an almost empty directory (or does any other small data
transmission with the remote server) is might happen that the
proxy receives and spools the data before the 150 response is
send to the client. ftp.proxy uses the TCP_NODELAY socket
options since version 1.1.4 but what if the server (or upstream
proxy) causes the problem?
The proxy does now track if the 150 response arrived already and
the data transmission between client and server is delayed until
it has been received.
Version 1.1.7.pre1 - 04042003asg
- --------------------------------
* Introducing `dynamic configuration programs' aka DCP's. In short
a DCP receives username and remote server as supplied by the user
and sends the proxy server the real FTP server the proxy should
connect to with perhaps different username and password.
Everything of this is optional. Furthermore there is yet no
documentation because DCPs are work in progress and even the DCP
scheme is not fixed yet. There is however a sample DCP named
operator.dcp showing how things basically work.
DCP's required changes to the source code. Even if you do not
use DCP's the changes may influence the way ftp.proxy is working.
The DCP's are based on the idea of 'connection translation program'
from Damian Ivereigh and replaces this feature introduced in 1.1.6.beta6
Version 1.1.6.beta8 - 25MAR2003asg
- ----------------------------------
* Changed -D option: the proxy server port number must now be set
with the -D option.
Version 1.1.6.beta7 - 10FEB2003asg
- ----------------------------------
* Added compile-help in src/Makefile for solaris and a putenv
workaround for the missing function.
Hope ftp.proxy will now compile on solaris without errors.
Mentioned by Gregoire Barbier, Lefteris Giakoumatos,
Christophe Giraud-Briquet, Neil McCalden and others.
* Complete rewrite of multiline server response handling.
Handling is now much more RFC conform in this point.
Version 1.1.6.beta6 - 22JAN2003asg
- ----------------------------------
* Added sample script to start ftp.proxy in debug mode.
* Added sample trp script.
* Do not fork ftp.proxy in daemon mode when debug option is set.
* Changed syslog calls to be more ANSI-C conform.
* Source code compatibility: changed the syslog's `%m' to `%s' with
a `strerror(errno)' argument.
* Added support connection translation program (short: trp's), mentioned
by Damian Ivereigh.
* Introduced version variable in Makefile.
* Added new command line option '-u' to allow usernames with a '@'
in it. Mentioned by Paul Dragicevich.
* Changed GPL to current version.
* Changed getc_fd to handle servers that close the data connection.
* Changed proxy response on PASV because mozilla does not like it.
* Added daemon mode. Now you can start ftp.proxy as daemon using '-D'.
This is still experimental do not use this on productive environments.
The feature will be added official in the next release.
Additional parameters are required.
* Applied patch which fixes problems with multi-line server greetings,
as it appears on 'AppleShare IP FTP Server'. Mentioned by Menno Smits.
* Changed default log facility to LOG_DAEMON. On Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD
it is still LOG_FTP.
* Modified cfputs() to send the line together with the CR/LF in one
packet to make broken firewalls happy.
ftp.proxy is a proxy server for a subset of the file tranfer protocol
described in RFC 959. It forwards traffic between a client and a
server without looking too much if both hosts do real FTP. The FTP
server can be either given on the command line or supplied by the
client.
It starts from inetd(8).
