If you upgrade your ProFTPd server to 1.2.9 and start getting problems (e.g. core dump or segmentation fault), we recommend downgrading it to 1.2.8p. The procedure is performed on the CP server and updates all web servers automatically.

Procedure for Linux users:

1. Download the ProFTPd 1.2.8p package:
   ( OS_CODE = RH72 or RH73 or MDK81 or MDK82 )
2. Back up your current ProFTPd settings:
   # cp /hsphere/local/config/ftpd/proftpd.conf /hsphere/local/config/ftpd/proftpd.conf.ORG
   # cp /hsphere/shared/config/ftpd/proftpd.conf /hsphere/shared/config/ftpd/proftpd.conf.ORG
3. Uninstall ProFTPd 1.2.9:
   # rpm -e hsphere-ftp-1.2.9-3
4. Install ProFTPd 1.2.8p:
   # rpm -ivh hsphere-ftp-1.2.8p-2.rpm
5. Restore your config settings from the backup:
   # cp /hsphere/local/config/ftpd/proftpd.conf.ORG /hsphere/local/config/ftpd/proftpd.conf
   # cp /hsphere/shared/config/ftpd/proftpd.conf.ORG /hsphere/shared/config/ftpd/proftpd.conf
6. Start ProFTPd
   # /etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd start
