Hello,

I've searched and i cannot find an FTP update how-to. I have proftp 1.2.9 and my provider will not update it to the newest version 1.2.10. They say it's the default and stable version?

To my recollection, 1.2.9 is unstable and I don’t want to put this into production if it’s unstable.

Thank You
 
What Operating System are you using, since the methods vary depending on that.
For example, on FreeBSD you simply uninstall the old package, download and install the new one provided from DirectAdmin's file server.
This also goes for Debian it appears.
 
Always make sure when updating using RPMs from another source, that you verify your configuration file hasn't changed.

You should use the following commands to update ProFTP to the latest version:

Code: 
[FONT=Courier New]cd /usr/src/redhat/SRPMS[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/proftpd-1.3.0a-1.src.rpm[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]rpmbuild --rebuild proftpd-1.3.0a-1.src.rpm[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/proftpd-*1.3.0a-1.i386.rpm[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]service proftpd restart[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New]rm -f proftpd-1.3.0a-1.src.rpm[/FONT]

However, if I am wrong, would someone please correct me. Thanks.
 
You shouldn't have to build it from source; you should be able to find the appropriate binary rpm in the directory for your OS.
