Does the stock ProFtpd in SME 5.6 support resuming downloads?

I am using an ftp application, but it appears ProFtpd does not support resuming failed downloads.

Thanks!

Stock, no.  But a quick template change and it does.

Ohh, sorry, I'm refering to 5.5...

In a nut shell, create a custom template in /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/proftpd.conf called 05AllowOverwrite.

In 05AllowOverwrite add these lines:
AllowOverwrite on
AllowStoreRestart on

Save and expand proftpd.conf and then restart xinetd.  That should do it (working from memory here so if I missed something please excuse me).

Interesting.  I just visited the ProFTPD project page and it says the AllowResumeRetrieve is on by default.  I do not experience that.

I created a template fragment named 05AllowResume and place two lines in it to allow the resuming of uploads and downloads.  The Upload option (store) is turned off by default.

Thanks!
