}> Synopsis: Moderate: lftp security update }> Issue date: 2010-08-02 }> CVE Names: CVE-2010-2251 }> }> LFTP is a sophisticated file transfer program for the FTP and HTTP }> protocols. Like Bash, it has job control and uses the Readline library for }> input. It has bookmarks, built-in mirroring, and can transfer several files }> in parallel. It is designed with reliability in mind. i am all for reliability, but i must question; "can transfer several files in parallel." is this not a misnomer? normal internet connections are serial in nature, how can they claim parallel? or, is 'parallel' meaning using several different serial internet connections at same time? thank you. -- peace out. tc,hago. g . **** in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ** help microsoft stamp out piracy - give linux to a friend today. ** to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it. to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it. ** learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'LDP HOWTO-index' http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ ****
