Updated ftp package available

The FTP client in Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 did not support large

files. This update fixes that problem.

FTP is the user interface to the ARPANET standard File Transfer Protocol.

The program allows a user to transfer files to and from a remote network site.



The version of the FTP client that shipped with Red Hat Linux Advanced

Server 2.1 did not allow for the transfer of files larger than 2 GB. This

update fixes the issue and therefore allows transfers over 2 GB.

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.



To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:



rpm -Fvh [filenames]



where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those

RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are

not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you

can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the

desired RPMs.



Please note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many

people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,

launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:



up2date



This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate

RPMs being upgraded on your system.
