job af warning me about mail as my work version does. This patch will
will fix this for bash(1) if MAILPATH is exported:
Submitted by: Mark Murray <mark@grondar.za>
v1.9.0 - December 22, 1994. The program won't exit from the interactive shell
if it's working from a tty. For example, it won't exit if you do an mget
on a pattern that won't match anything. Added padding around jmp_buf's
for SunOS. SunOS needs sigjmp_buf's, but plenty of OS's don't support
sigjmp_buf's yet. Fixed the tips to reflect the new archive site.
v1.8.9 - December 20, 1994. Can now set "passive" user variable, or use
passive command to toggle PASV/PORT ftp. Debug mode now prints remote
responses. Can now get around buggy FTP servers like boombox.micro.umn.edu,
that give back invalid port numbers to PASV.
v1.8.8 - December 19, 1994. Now falls back to port FTP if passive FTP fails.
controlled by a runtime switch.
(b) add '-P' to toggle passive mode from the command line
(c) turn on passive mode by default
- passive mode ftp works on all but a few servers out there
- it's easy to disable
- no, standard ftp should not run with passive enabled by default,
but that doesn't matter because I've already fixed standard mode
ftp to take a switch
This really should have been implemented as a ncftp "set" command instead
of carrying over the same hack that was done to ftp. I will go back and fix
it some day.
