The following reply was made to PR bin/72425; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Yar Tikhiy <yar@FreeBSD.org> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, drick@edigic.com Cc: ryans@gamersimpact.com Subject: Re: bin/72425: ftpd SITE command case sensitivity Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2004 00:44:09 +0400 In my opinion, the problem described in this PR isn't of ftpd(8) or ftp(1). I'm afraid that it isn't a problem at all. On the one hand, ftpd(8) groks well any case in commands to it since the FTP specification defines the protocol be case insensitive: %%% site chmod 444 preader.c 200 CHMOD command successful. SITE CHMOD 111 preader.c 200 CHMOD command successful. sItE ChMoD 644 preader.c 200 CHMOD command successful. %%% On the other hand, ftp(1) is case sensitive by design, being in this aspect in line with any well-tempered Unix application. I'm inclined to close this PR because I see no case sensitivity issue found regarding ftpd(8) or ftp(1). Would you mind if I did so? -- Yar
