I found a copy of the example file in the examples directory of /usr/ports/ftp/tnftpd and there is more information there. I'll try to compile compress statically or make copies of the libraries. (Also, I missed the -c option to compress).

tnftpd, lukemftpd and conversions
I am trying to get tnftpd or lukemftpd to do the authomatic conversions documented in the man page. I am running 7.1 Release #0. My /var/ftp/etc/ftpd.conf file is only two lines: motd all motd conversion all .Z f . /bin/compress %s and from the motd message I can see that the server is using this configuration file. The compress program has been copied to /var/ftp/bin/compress so it should be available too. However, while I can ftp to localhost and login as anonymous and get the file "test", when I ask for "test.Z" I get only the following messages: get test.Z local test.Z remote test.Z 229 entering Passive mode 550 test.Z: no such file or directory The man page for ftpd.conf says: > If a file to retrieve ends in suffix and a real file (sans suffix) > exists then the output of command is returned instead of the > contents of the file. I also tried the default ftpd, with the same result (although it isn't clear if ftpd supports conversion, there isn't any documentation for the configuration file for ftpd - the included man page is clearly for lukemftpd and the tnftpd page is essentially the same). So I am left with the conclusion that there is something wrong with my ftpd.conf entry, but have found no examples anywhere on the net to guide me. There is supposed to be an example in /usr/share/examples/ but it isn't there (PR 133468). I'd sure like to see it, if anyone has it or another.
