Details

An updated gftp package that fixes a bug is now available.

gftp is a multi-threaded FTP client for the X Window System.

This updated gftp package fixes a bug that occurred when connecting to a
secure FTP (SFTP) server that displayed a login banner message. In this
situation, gftp treated the banner as an error message and disconnected the
user. With this update, connecting to an SFTP server which displays a login
banner message succeeds, thus resolving the issue.

All users of gftp are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
upgrades gftp to version 2.0.18 and resolves this issue.
