And here`s my question: Is there any way to force the ftpd to 'compress' a file before sending it, from the client`s side. I`m asking for this particular daemon because of this: [hyph@port ~]$ ls -l /var/ftp/bin/ razem 400k -r-------- 1 root root 313 sie 2 2001 bin.md5 -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16k gru 12 2000 compress <-- :-)) -rw------- 1 root root 848k mar 3 10:07 core -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48k sie 8 2000 cpio -rwxr-xr-x 4 root root 49k lut 8 2001 gzip -rwxrwx--x 2 root root 45k mar 14 2001 ls -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 147k mar 6 2001 tar The benefits would be obvious. Sorry if it`s a known bug/vulnerability (but I`ve never heared `bout it before) -- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Linux isn`t unfriendly he`s only picky in choosing his friends. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::
