List of known bugs and problems: - The -R argument to list seems to ignore the argument given to it (this is not very high on the list ATM). - Some commands are still not implemented (see the file RFC-COMPLIANCE). There are very few I actually miss now... None, actually. - There are several hardcoded limits, instead of using constants such as PATH_MAX. - We should move the remaining bugs listed from the source (in the comments) to this file ;-) - If a command that requires a parameter doesn't have one, BetaFTPD will send 500 instead of 501. This behaviour is very useful in the command lookup (for code simplicity) :-) - We could (perhaps) use a hash table instead of a straight linear command search? - REST does not work in ASCII mode. (This is partly as a security measure -- enabling resuming on ASCII files could need a lot of CPU power if we had to resume in the middle of a big file, and still stay RFC/ftpext-compliant.) - In general, nonroot support has problems. For instance, security is generally weak, and anonymous FTP is not supported (all users will need a password). Nonroot is not even worked on at the moment. Don't use it :-) - Occasionally, a directory listing may cause unwanted output in the fullscreen mode, for some weird reason. - There are reports of the server not working at all in fullscreen mode. We're working to find and fix these problems. - Some features like ftpshut and ftpaccess files (no, root can't FTP anymore, that is blocked) are missing. Obscure bugs I haven't seen in a long time (probably fixed): - The server is still known to segfault from time to time, but unfortunately, most kernel versions won't dump core if the program has changed uid :-( - Sometimes (after an error) the server doesn't respond to the connection anymore. Weird. - Some times, for no reason at all, mmap() on my machine will fail with a EINPROGRESS, which is a non-legal error code. I'm not sure if this is a bug in BetaFTPD or glibc :-)
