Version NEXT
display port number if we can't listen on it
minor whitespace cleanup
do not fail hard if we can't write to pid file and running from
inetd
added scons switch without-server=yes to not build fspd
make relative links while installing man pages for fsp client
programs. Required for rpm packaging.
code cleanup
make sure that our descriptor for running in inetd is not 0 to 2,
because we closing these later. This should help systemd internal
inetd to work correctly using fspd socket activation.
fspd exits with err 8 if can't write pidfile after forking
add error exit 9 if fspd can't send back reply to client
correct check for native largefiles. Because we are using unsigned
long internaly as pointer to offset for portability, we have to
be sure that usingned long is 8 or more bytes long
Always try to link Efence in debug build
Print off_t size in SCons large file detection
If we do not have fseeko set off_t size to zero
Current codebase requires fseeko. Test for this in SCons and
exit build if function is unavailable.
parsecheck: report if all tests passed / some failed
parsecheck: init all fields in testcase results
SConstruct: declare CPP constant SIZEOF_LONG
randomcheck: use SIZEOF_LONG for grabing highest bits from long()
randomcheck: print more fraction digits in report
randomcheck: ability to run group tests with different seeds
this will more balance results to be less initial seed
dependant. classic fsp algo seems to produce best results.
randomcheck: added skip8 method. skips 8 lowest bits from
random() output
randomcheck: added simple15 method. its currently used random
number generator in 2.8.1 beta 29 code
Version 2.8.1b29 - 24 Aug 2019
added scons command line argument without-fspscan=yes for building
without fspscan
do not install shell scripts if no clients are installed
support for user supplied examplesdir
display pidfile name in case we can not write to it
add error exit 8 if we can't write pid file
RPM packaging of fspd
packaging files added to source code repo
Version 2.8.1b28 - 16 Aug 2019
Pull scons site Python 3 fixed from fsplib and fspclient projects
More scons with python 3 build fixes
contrib/fspscan fdclose() name conflict
Gentoo packaging of fspd
Version 2.8.1b27 - 9 Sep 2014
fhostcmd: Fixed output of FSP_TRACE variable for Bourne style shells
correctly initialize to zero client packet sent statistic counter
note default timeout values in fsp_env man page
setting environment value FSP_TIMEOUT to <=0 uses 4byte maxint value
note default fspd max packet size in fsp_env man page
fix build on systems with utmpx.h API (FreeBSD 9)
fspscan: do not shadow host variable
fspscan: fix clang warning about empty for cycle body by placing
semicolon on separate line
FAQ: Cleaned lot of SGML markup errors
Do not use sgmlformat, call jade directly
correctly zero entire sockaddr_in structure during name resolving,
error found by Clang.
allow docbook dsssl stylesheets to be specified at scons command line
always validate path in SETPRO and MKDIR even if packet is resent and
no action will be taken. This is needed to avoid uninitialised
pointer access during reply. Found by Clang.
Version 2.8.1b26 - 1 Oct 2009
fver now reports if server can process extra data in input packets.
fspclient did that for a long time. This field is used by fspd
2.8.1 beta 21 or newer.
Server version string sent as response to CC_VERSION command have
no longer \n appended to it. Old FSP used it but fver client
command can handle server strings without \n for quite a long
time, so i decided to remove it. It is bad idea to terminate
version strings by \n while it is not required by FSP protocol.
glob() function used in FSP clients renamed to bsdglob because it
clashed with glob() function in newer Linux glibc resulting in
segfaults.
non continuous upload detection fixed. Now detection works as follows:
if you are trying to upload past end of file, fspd will report that
you are trying to create hole in file.
if you are seeking backwards more than 1 packet size fspd will
report noncontinuous upload. Most likely port from old unfinished
download was reused.
We can now reupload last block which can happen if fspd server is
restarted and reply to upload command is lost on way from server
to client.
Check for overwriting uploaded files in fspd was reversed by mistake.
Now if you want to overwrite file you must have permission for
deleting and adding files or be directory owner.
Turning on debug in SCons turns on maintainer mode also.
Upload starting at zero position are now always allowed no matter if
source port was reused or not. Old code did that but not over
server restarts.
INFO file updated with fresh information
fsetupcmd and fhostcmd now reject port number > 65535
fsetupcmd - code cleaned a bit. Error message is now
fsetup: No host given! instead of fhost:
fsetupcmd got -l option. It lists all known fsp servers collected
from .fspsites files.
fpwd command from setup.sh now prints site name instead of ip
address if possible.
SCons now check if CC compiler works. We need SCons 1.1 or greater
for building FSP now.
Large file support on Linux is now correctly detected.
Error codes added to CC_ERR command in PROTOCOL. It was long wished
feature from ISV. Now there is standard way how to pass error codes
from server to client. No such codes are defined yet, but you can
use custom error codes in range 0xF000 - 0xFFFF. because no such
codes are defined fspd do not sends them in error message, but it
now correctly zeroes bb_pos field in CC_ERR reply to indicate
that extended error code status is not attached to message. Old
fspd versions left this field untouched - it will contain request
bb_pos in most, but not all cases. Because we indicate size of
extra data to be received, this extended error handling is
compatible with "plain FSP over serial" standard.
Code portability improved. Now we don't need to check sizes of
predefined types because we are now using ISO C types. Only thing
what we need to know is if largefiles are supported or not.
If SCons cant run test program for sizing off_t for any reason,
it defaults to 4 (no largefiles, 32-bit system).

FSP_TIMEOUT is total number of seconds, not retry count.
clients: try to resend packet on less fatal error (network down or so)
remove clients lock files after sending BYE. code merged from fspclient.
threre is an race condition: After client unlinks lock file and other
clients still runs new client will create new lock file which will
not share secret key with other clients. New client can't communicate
with server until other clients terminates.
man: we did not install fsp_env.7 manpage
allow home directory not starting with /
allow uploads only on file border
up/down speed is in B/s, not b/s.

This is MINIMUM REQUIRED VERSION for applications which are using
javafsp library, only download machine atm. Javafsp library will
be released shortly as separate package.

packet boundary more clear. Previous text was from fspd code comment
and was bad.
fixed tests/mklargefile.py
log uploads to wuftpd logfile also
PROTOCOL file updated. Added required commands section.
PROTOCOL file updated. Added recommended delay management section.

path parsing moved to separate file server/path.c
new test tool parsecheck for testing server path parser
reworked parse path: separate error messages for high bit chars,
control chars
MAJOR BUGFIX: path with trailing / or starting / is now parsed correctly
pathes with dot after slash are now detected at parse level (side
effect of prev. fix, fixed security prob)
tests moved from server/ into tests/ directory
removed special test case for root directory in path.c -> use more
general alg. instead. This fixed "/" dir.

to be rewrited
!!! MAJOR PERFORMANCE SPEEDUP. Need only 1 syscal to serve a
packet (if everything is cached).
do not list special files as directories
added file COPYRIGHT
speedup when loading access files
min delay for clients was increased from 0.5s to 1.5s (packets
was are just thrown out by server for <3sec reply). Performance
tested on our WireLess network. Today only 65% packets loss!
new configuration option homedir_restricted for following symlinks
out of home_directory
if $test in configure changed to x$test
ip range and IP parsing function moved out of host.c to iprange.c
host type must be specified (in config or in owner file)

check for max. number of open files and adjust open handle cache
removed long file limit hack for FAT/VMS filesystems. Nonstandard and
unsecure.
removed include/version.h - use autoconf instead
added -V server option (display version)
do not use dircache as upload cache. Uploads now works even without
dircache
turn off cachedir when it do not exists
better init of random number generator. It should be really random.
fixed use of prebuild directory content and dircache
turn off logging if no log file is set
clean cache directory on startup
merged security patch from Debian package fsp_2.81.b3-4, i have
fixed this problem in 2.8.1b4; but Debian code looks better.
removed non standard NEED_ from configure.ac, use HAVE_
fver displays locking method and used config. files.
give lockf locking method priority over flock method
fgetcmd and fgrabcmd now understands -c continue download
fixed check for in.fspd
we have called check_required_vars twice
display copyright in fspd -V
INFO document updated, fixed spelling errors, added section
FSP today
added -t option for fspd; specifes timeout for inetd mode (or
when debug is on for normal more also)
Version 2.8.1b4 -- 30 March, 2001
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
New maintainer: Radim Kolar hsn/at/sendmail.cz now maintains FSP codebase.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Eliminated a lot of warnings when compiling with -Wall.
2) Moved to autoconf 2.12. Replaced old m4 macros with Autoconf's.
All autoconf's values are cached.
3) Makefiles are now generated by automake.
4) include/tweak.h.in is generated by autoheader.
5) Added faq.html.
6) Server now writes more messages when in debug mode. Debug mode is
disabled when running in inetd mode. Daemonize is disabled when
running in debug mode.
7) Server accepts command line switches -d (debug) -i (inetd)
-v (version) -p <port> (Alternate port number). Uses now getopt.
8) Server has now configurable timeouts, maximal packetsize,
directory and file handles caches.
9) REMOVED VMS part vms/ and vms_src/. Is was out of date.
10) Removed file MACHINES. It was out of date. After my changes in
autoconf, it may not compile on non-Linux systems.
11) Implemented a check for reliable signals in the configure script.
12) Return type of signal handler is detected in configure script.
13) ANSI prototypes are now used, if host compiler supports them.
14) When server is running in read-only mode, server send this
information to clients, instead generic "Permission denied".
15) Access checking and uploading was fixed. Now works.
