RHBA-2013:0071 - lftp bug fix update

Synopsis

lftp bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated lftp packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

LFTP is a file transfer utility for FTP, SFTP, HTTP, and other commonly used protocols. It uses the readline library for input, and provides support for bookmarks, built-in monitoring, job control, and parallel transfer of multiple files at the same time

This update fixes the following bug:

• Due to an incorrect evaluation of the length of an uploaded file, the lftp tool became unresponsive after a file transfer in ASCII mode. With this update, the volume of transferred data is recognized correctly and the lftp program no longer hangs in this scenario. (BZ#810217)

All users of lftp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.
