(The following will fail if you didn't build the curses-based programs.)
/usr/bin/install -c bin/ncftpbookmarks "/usr/bin/ncftpbookmarks"
/usr/bin/install: kan stat niet toepassen op `bin/ncftpbookmarks': Onbekend bestand of map
make: *** [install] Fout 1

I don't know why yum won't get what it needs.

Have you asked on a forum devoted to your OS Distribution?

Hello,

Just a note that we install ncftpd from source, not from yum, so you *should* already have it.

eg, the installer runs the following script:
/usr/local/directadmin/scripts/ncftpp.sh

I think the ncftp version used in Directadmin source is outdated and that older version has some security issue, which have ever given load issue to one of my company servers.

We used Webmin to uninstall ncftp completely and then use Webmin to search new version of ncftp in YUM source. In that way, latest version will be installed properly and our server load issue was back to normal.

After everything is done properly, then we switched off Webmin using
"service webmin stop". Hope this is useful for people having same issues.
 
You can look into the script that John mentioned in his post to this thread to see if it's installing the most recent version of ncftpd.

The script should be updated when DirectAdmin is updated.

I think the script is using version 3.0.2
NAME=ncftp
VERSION=3.0.2
PRIMARY=http://files.directadmin.com/services
SECONDARY=http://fbb.directadmin.com/services

I have tried to install the latest version 3.2.1 manually using following line by following the routines in John's script, it should be working fine as well...

# wget ftp://ftp.ncftp.com/ncftp/ncftp-3.2.1-src.tar.bz2
# tar jxvf ncftp-3.2.1-src.tar.bz2
# cd ncftp-3.2.1
# ./configure --prefix=/usr
# make
# make install
