How about: $ rpm -qi gftp $ rpm -ql gftp $ ls -l /usr/bin/gftp
Have you disabled the "base" repo in yum?
Interesting, yes I have. I've used the yum.conf from fedorafaq - which has no entry called [base] . That's a bit of a surprise for me!
Assuming you're using FC3, you should have a /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo containing the correct information.
I've used up my compulsory 10 minutes of searching and I'm afraid I can't work out what to add in yum.conf. Something like this one I found?
[base]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Base
baseurl=http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.os
http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/fedora/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.os
http://sunsite.mff.cuni.cz/pub/fedora.us/fedora/fedora/$releasever/$basearch/RPMS.os

If you want to specify this list of mirrors, you should probably put this information in the fedora.repo file mentioned above, which should not have "enabled=0" in it.
