Summary: Cannot connect to sites which also have IPv6 address
Product: gftp
Version: 2.0.15-2mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: program
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When using gftp on a IPv4 host, there are problems when you try to connect to a
host which also has an IPv6 address. In the logs, this error appears:
Failed to create a socket: Address family not supported by protocol
You can easily reproduce this problem by connecting to ftp.belnet.be as anonymous.
The problem happens with gFTP 2.0.15 as included in MDK 9.2 and the latest
Cooker package 2.0.16-1mdk. The included patch solves the problem. It is based
on the patch posted on http://archives.seul.org/gftp/users/Nov-2003/msg00010.html
It adds an option to enable/disable IPv6 in the configuration window. The only
difference with the original patch, is the fact that I disabled IPv6 by default,
because this actually solves the problem and IPv4 is currently more common.
