8.48. ftp
Updated ftp packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
The ftp packages provide 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.
Bug Fix
- BZ#861113
- Prior to this update, when the FTP client was used from a shell with elevated permissions (through the su or the sudo utility), it incorrectly assumed the UID from the original login, instead of the user initiating the client. Consequently, the local home directory was incorrect. With this update, the underlying code has been modified to correctly get the login credentials using the getpwuid(3) utility function call. Now, the local home directory is set according to the user running the client.
All users of ftp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
