2.0.0
Warning
Release 2.0.0 is a major release, and the changes in the protocol between the client and the server lead to the following
situation :
- bbftpd server works with bbftp clients in version 2.0.0 and 1.x.x
- bbftpc and bbftpcd are not provided in release 2.0.0
- bbftp client in version 2.0.0 works only with bbftpd server version 2.0.0
- Default control port has been changed from 4021 to 5021.
- New authentication method using ssh (Tim Adye idea)
- No more limitation on file name
- No more limitation on stream number
- New features on client command line
- -L "ssh command"
- -E "bbftpd command line"
- -s for ssh mode
- -S for ssh mode in batch (always not asking for a password)
- -W for warning on stderr
- -V for verbose mode (the old standart mode with the >> )
- -e "control command ; control command" (several commands may be entered separated by ;)
- -F "bbftprc file" (explained later)
- New features on server command line
- -v to print version number and default on stdout
- -f not to use a fixed date port
- -s to run started by ssh
- New control commands
- setbuffersize %d : define the read (and write) buffer size in Kbytes for each stream
- setlocalcos %d : Define the local COS (RFIO only)
- setremotecos %d : Define the remote COS (RFIO only)
- setlocalumask %o : Define the local umask (default is the process umask)
- setremoteumask %o : Define the remote umask (default 022)
- setsendwinsize %d : Define the send window size (in Kbytes) on each stream for the server
(in this case the receive window of the client is set to this
value)
- setrecvwinsize %d : Define the receive window size (in Kbytes) on each stream for the server
(in this case the send window of the client is set to this
value)
- setnbstream %d : You can override the -p option with that command
(all further commands are going to use this
number of streams)
- setoption [ [no]createdir | [no]tmpfile | [no]remoterfio | [no]localrfio | [no]keepmode |[no]keepaccess | [no]gzip ]
- creatdir : automatic directory creation (default : creatdir)
- tmpfile : always use a temporary file name (default : tmpfile)
- remoterfio : set the server in rfio mode (default : noremoterfio)
- localrfio : set the client in rfio mode (default : nolocalrfio)
- keepmode : keep file mode (default : keepmode)
- keepaccess : keep last access and last modif time (default : keepaccess)
- gzip : compress on the flight (defaul : nogzip except if -c flag was used on command line)
- New behaviour
- If the option tmpfile is used then if the new file ( RemoteFile for a put or LocalFile for a get) did not exist before, bbftp
ensures that the file transfer was correct if the file exists
- In case of an already existing file, if the size, the last access and modification time are correct (if option keepaccess has been
set) bbftp ensures that the file transfer was correct
- After a successful connection to the daemon the client is going to execute all control commands located in the
$HOME/.bbftprc file. The location of this file can be changed with option -F.
- bbftp is now able to work on both side with RFIO, as RFIO is able to work with HPSS it is now
1.9.4
- Add -b options in bbftpd. This option allows a daemon compiled with DAEMONMODE equal a zero to be run in background.
- Add -w options in bbftpd. This option tells bbftpd to listen on a different port. (Useful for debugging purposes
or if several deamons have to run under several uid). This option cannot be used if running under inetd.
- Add -w options in bbftp and bbftpcd. This option allows to connect to a bbftpd daemon listening
a different port than the default.
- Add a FIXEDDATAPORT in config.h parameter in order to tell bbftpd to use CONTROLPORT-1 localport for data socket.
- Back to socket in blocking mode because Sun and Linux have a non documented behaviour if no network buffers are available.
- Compilation and Installation guide changed.
1.9.1
- Correct a bug in PAM authentication in bbftpd.
- Change the command putrfio in rfioput (if RFIO is supported).
- Add the command rfioget (if RFIO is supported).
- Add the command setlocalcos (if RFIO is supported).
- Add -l option on bbftp and bbftpc clients to define the COS (mainly for use in bbftpc -e) (if RFIO is supported)
- Add -o option on bbftpcd in order to keep the bbftpcd pid in a file
- Change the output of all -v option in order to know if the client has been compiled with RFIO
- Support for HP-UX 10.20
1.9.0
- Add putrfio command in all clients (if RFIO is supported).
- Add support for PAM authentication.
- Add support for shadow password in authentication.
- Use of the autoconf utilitie in order to help port for clients and daemon.
- Support for AIX 4.3
- Ability to stop clients via Ctrl^C or via SIGTERM
- Add -r option on client to define the number of tries
- Manual pages in html format
