Package: ftp
Version: 0.17-12
Severity: minor

I noted that the calculation of 'Total traffic' overflowed in a transfer
of several (very) large tar files.  The total traffic in the session was
something like 5*2.2G, but was reported as a negative number when I closed
the session.
Here is the closing lines of the session log:

ftp> put PUNQ58.tar
local: PUNQ58.tar remote: PUNQ58.tar
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for PUNQ58.tar.
226 Transfer complete.
2272870400 bytes sent in 257.14 secs (8632.0 kB/s)
ftp> bye
221-You have transferred -1461178368 bytes in 5 files.
221-Total traffic for this session was -1461171998 bytes in 7 transfers.
221-Thank you for using the FTP service on xxx.xxx.xxx.
221 Goodbye.

The last transfer before the end of the session shows the approximate size
of each of the five files.

The bug does not seem to affect the functionality of the program, and I
would doubt that it affects more than a few people.  Still, it can't be
a hard bug to fix.

Alv-Arne Grimstad
