missing readline support (reminder)

2006-12-01T11:42:38Z

(reminder to self)
implement readline support, and offer configure option
for it.

problem with new configure

2003-11-19T15:43:24Z

I inadvertedly used bash only features in the new
configure script, and I'm now correcting it to become
POSIX.2 compliant. In the meantime, users which
experience problems using ./configure can get away by
compiling directly using

cc -o cmdftp -O2 -ansi -pedantic -Wall -s cmdftp.c

or something similar.

Sorry for the inconvenience, it will be corrected in
the next release.

compilation errors under OpenBSD 3.4

2003-11-16T16:53:36Z

compilation errors under OpenBSD 3.4:

seems like _XOPEN_SOURCE macro causes the exclusion of
u_char, u_int, ... declarations, which are then used in
inet.h . It's a problem of OpenBSD's standard libraries
implementation in my opinion.

I don't have an OpenBSD system on which to test, but
the solution could be to remove #define _XOPEN_SOURCE
600 in cmdftp.h,
OR to #define the missing aliases for unsigned types.

I would like someone with OpenBSD to help me with this
issue.

incorrect C declarations

2003-10-29T23:35:34Z

There were incorrect C declarations in the code, which
were not catched by my gcc 3.2.2 compiler and caused
problems in compilation for other compiler versions (as
reported by zhap (Tuukka Lehtinen) with gcc 2.95.4)

The changes have been committed to CVS, and you may get
a patch in the form of a diff -u file here (see below)

ls seems to block after successful listing if PAGER not set

2003-10-14T05:50:30Z

bug (versions 0.65, 0.651)

the ls command seems to block after a successful
listing if the PAGER environment variable is not set.

What really happens is fclose(stdout)!

This bug has been fixed inverting two lines in the code
(944 and 946).
Changes have been committed to CVS, a patch as a diff
-u file is attached.

cmdftp buzzes in connect(2) on ftp.slackware.com

2003-08-31T15:22:23Z

When attempting to transfer data from
ftp.slackware.com, after successful PASV, the
connect(2) hangs forever.
I have no idea which could be the cause of this, error
does not happen with the other ftp servers I've tried.
