A simple question just how to update proftpd on CentOS 5 (Linux server.domain.com 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5xen #1 SMP Tue Nov 3 16:48:13 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) to most recent version 1.3.3c?
Would gladly appreciate your help especially if you come more detailed on every step!
CentOS proftpd upgrade from 1.3.1 > 1.3.3

My guess would be that Alexy wants 1.3.3c because all previous versions of proftpd have been shown to have a massive security hole that gives root access to any server. See http://www.proftpd.org/
