Description:

This update for lftp provides the following fixes:

  • Allow lftp to recover gracefully when IPv6 support is disabled. The lftp client prefers IPv6 addresses by default, but if IPv6 support is disabled in the kernel (i.e. by setting systcl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1), then lftp would abort with an error rather than falling back to the target machine's IPv4 address.
