I'm working on learning VSFTPD and am setting it up on a fedora fc1
box. The system currently, from the original install, has version
1.2.0. At least that is what the folder says in
/usr/share/doc/vsftpd-1.2.0.
rpm -q vsftpd
this tells you the exact version and patch number of the
installed package.
Bare with me as I am green in Linux but learning every day. If I
download vsftpd-1.2.0-5.i386.rpm and enter the command:
rpm -ihv vsftpd-1.2.0-5.i386.rpm
You can install packages easily using the Fedora tool up2date
by running
up2date-nox -i vsftpd
It has the advantage that it automagically resolves
dependencies, while the direct install command using rpm
might fail when other packages are missing.
When I run the command
up2date-nox -i vsftpd
I get:
-----
The following packages you requested are already updated:
Vsftpd
-----
But the latest is v1.2.1 according to the website and the package I have
installed is vsftpd-1.2.0-5
What am I missing?
That there's no RPM built yet for the latest vsftpd in the up2date
repositories. It's not uncommon for RPM versions to lag behind the
tarballs.
