The FTP service for the CTAN main node
dante.ctan.org
is working again, after replacing the ftp server software (proftpd) by another
one (vsftpd).
With this change, FTP uploads on dante.ctan.org are no longer possible.
Uploads should be done via the web interface:
http://upload.ctan.org/

A security flaw has been found in the the FTP server program that is
used at the tug.ctan.org node of CTAN, as noted earler by Rainer.
Consequently I shut off this service. I expect that it will be off for
a few days, for lack of time to repair it. I apologize for the
inconvienence.
Individuals who use HTTP would not be immediately affected by this
change.

A serious bug has been detecetd in proftpd:
http://bugs.proftpd.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3521
As a consequence, ftp access to ftp.dante.de a.k.a. dante.ctan.org will be
disabled, effective immediately. http or rsync access to dante.ctan.org are not
affected.
Service will be resumed only after this bug is corrected.

implemented. Further MSWindows installer problems were
addressed.
