Hi,

Here's a question for you all (because I'm sure I'm not the only person whose attempted this!)

We have a piece of software at work (Omnibus Transomneon), which initiates FXP transfers of files between video servers. Because this software is pretty dumb, and it normally only talks to Omneon Video servers, it will only log into FTP as anonymous.

The problem I have is I have a Linux (Unbuntu 9.04) that I need this to transfer files onto.

I have tried vsftp, which will accept anonymous FTP, but won't do anonymous FXP, authenticated FXP works.

I tried proftpd, which will allow anonymous FXP, but bitches about the "Size command in ascii mode". Transomneon uses this to check the progress of transfers. Although the transfer is in binary mode.

I tried pureftpd, which would not allow anonymous user to delete files.

I gave up with wu-ftpd because I couldn't get ls to work.

This has been driving me insane all day. I know what I'm trying to do is very insecure, but I'm on a private well firewalled network.

Anybody got any ideas of an FTP server that will support anonymous FXP, and the size command, and allow anonymous deletes?

Many Thanks

Chris
