This also includes with the stock linux ftp client. It is a problem with
the latest patched proftpd ebuild. I have tested rc2 and rc1 and this problem
does not exist in rc1 with the same system/config/files. Proftpd rc2 simply
ignores the "AllowOverwrite on" below:


DefaultRoot ~

# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
<Directory />
  AllowOverwrite    on
  <Limit SITE_CHMOD>
    Deny All
  </Limit>
</Directory>

This patch should fix the allowoverwite bug.

proftpd-1.2.9_rc3 is now in portage which should address this problem.  Please
test.

1.2.9rc3 works for me (1.2.9rc2 didn't).

[Comment 5 Roman Majer 2004-01-22 03:59:57 UTC]

It is not in stable packages, so it is not closed for "stable" folks.

Is there any reason that 1.2.9 shouldn't be unmasked for x86 at least?

[Comment 7 Nick Hadaway 2004-01-23 20:39:18 UTC]

proftpd-1.2.9 has just been marked stable for x86
