Econnaborted on PureFTPd

#1 Post by Astral God » 2011-10-30 18:50

Hello.

I've read and followed all discussion about this all along this forum, but i have just a litte and simple question:
- If the problem is server side, is PureFTPd 1.0.32-1 (from CentOS) bugged ?

I want to know if yes or not to chose my FTP server betwen PureFTPd and proFTPd.

Thanks.

Seems to be the latest (or one of the latest) version of PureFTPd. There's a good chance it's proper (we have a lot less threads lately about that, seems to have diminished). Please note that an older version number in a distribution wouldn't necessarily mean its old and unsafe, because of the distributors's habit of issuing backports. Especially security fixes and fixes for showstopper bugs are often applied to older packages without increasing the main version number (may be a totally silent update or a change in build/minor version number only).

tl;dr: Try it, seems to be a recent version, so chances are good it will work.

So it ain't proper even in the latest version? Quite interesting. May not even down to the PureFTPd project itself, as it is OSS and anyone can change it.

So you should use ProFTPd, or, even better, vsftpd.

Pure-FTPd has one of the most complete implementation of the FTP protocol specifications. It includes the protocol basics, plus modern extensions like MLST/MLSD (extensible and mirror-safe directory listings).

OK, maybe I should have said: ''Try''.

Unfortunately version numbers in packet managers/distributions are sometimes not matching the official ones. If your server package doesn't include the fix try the official one or one of the alternatives.

pureftpd has always been broken in various ways even with the newest version.

Not that it should matter when deciding as vsftpd is far superior to it and proftpd.
