As the Scandianavian winter is getting closer I’ve finally been able to spend some quality time with my laptop, and do some work on bareFTP. I’ve been looking into some of the reported bugs (thanks folks!), and a few structural changes.
Most notably, I’ve decided to scrap the managed sftp implementation and go for using the local ssh installation (everyone has one, right?). I had some trouble getting read/write to the sftp subsystem working, but it seems I’m getting there. This will introduce a small c library in bareFTP. This will hopefully remove some of the problems some have reported using the current sftp implementation.
Given the massive changes I’m working on right now I guess the next release will be 0.3.0. In my current speed it will hopefully be ready before x-mas.


Sounds great.
However, until that release, is there a way of getting bareFTP running/installed on a system with 9.10 Karmic Koala?
I’ll make a deb for 9.10 one of the next few days.
Edit: deb package for karmic is now available from my ppa. See download for details.
Sweet. Thanks a bunch.
