pftpfxp-v0.11.4 Print E-mail

The last stable build of the original pftpfxp project by HoE, based on the source by pSi & HoE.

UPDATE: Found a maintainer who has started a new fork of the pftpfxp project. He has created a package that incorporates all of the features I've been supplying patches for. The new pftp-shit project can be found at http://www.derijk.org/pftp/
I will cease patch maintenance for the original and mew editions of pftpfxp in favor of mirroring pftp-shit.

The only reason I still maintain this version of the package is for use with the PRE patch by FiReBiRd & raana.

One of the major limitations of this version is the lack of SSL FXP support. While there is a dirty patch available for it I seem to recall that it only allows for the setting to be globally on or globally off, resulting in failures when dealing with mixed mode transfers; sending to/from an SSL required server to/from a non-SSL enabled server. I have the patch available but I don't use it myself.

The PRE patch turns pftpfxp into a great preutil supporting multiple PRE sections. The only sections it changes in the site bookmarks are the built-in commands like SITE WHO which I personally never use often enough to miss when replaced with the PRE commands.

Building this package against newer versions of GCC (>=3.4) requires some edits to server.cc and main.cc included in the gcc patch.

Steps to compile (this assumes you have an understanding of what you're doing):

  1. bash $ tar xzvf public_html/spuncookie/components/com_remository_files/downloads/pftp-src.0.11.4.tgz
  2. bash $ cd pftpfxp/
  3. bash $ patch -p1 < ../pftp-pret.patch
  4. bash $ patch -p0 < ../preftp-0.11.4-firebird.patch
  5. bash $ patch -p1 < ../pftp-orig-gcc.patch
  6. bash $ ./configure
  7. bash $ gmake
