This is netkit-ftp-0.15.

This package updates netkit-ftp-0.10.

If you're reading this off a CD, go right away and check the net
archives for later versions and security fixes.

Contents:
	ftp		Client program for the ftp protocol.
	
Requires:
	Working compiler, libc, and kernel. 

	libreadline (GNU readline library) is optional but recommended.
	If you use it, you will need a recent ncurses or libtermcap as
	well.

Security:
	This client contains a fix for a buffer problem in passive mode
	handling. Consequently, earlier versions should not be used.

Note:
	To compile ftp with readline support you'll need a copy of the
	readline library installed. If you don't have it, get
	readline-2.0 (or higher) from ftp.gnu.org. You'll probably
	need to apply the enclosed patch, or ftp will have problems with
	^C handling.

Installation:
	Patch your readline library if necessary.

	Do "./configure --help" and decide what options you want. The
	defaults should be suitable for most Linux systems. Then run
	the configure script.

	Do "make" to compile.
	Then (as root) do "make install".

	Save a backup copy of any mission-critical program in case the
	new one doesn't work, and so forth. We warned you.

Bugs:
	Please make sure the header files in /usr/include match the
	libc version installed in /lib and /usr/lib. If you have weird
	problems this is the most likely culprit.

	Also, before reporting a bug, be sure you're working with the
	latest version.

	If something doesn't compile for you, fix it and send diffs.
	If you can't, send the compiler's error output.

	If it compiles but doesn't work, send as complete a bug report as 
	you can. Patches and fixes are welcome, as long as you describe 
	adequately what they're supposed to fix. Please, one patch per
	distinct fix. Please do NOT send the whole archive back or
	reindent the source.

	Be sure to send all correspondence in e-mail. Postings to netnews 
	will not be seen due to the enormous volume.

	Please don't report known bugs (see the BUGS file(s)) unless you
	are including fixes. :-)
