Description
Local archive volumes can be made accessible via FTP by configuring a port number (e.g. using the st_volume_set_ports ConfD job). Any FTP client can then be used to browse, download, or delete backup files; however, when deleting a file, due to a bug in our code, the FTP client may display a “lost connection” error message. The file is still deleted though and the client can simply be reconnected.
Workaround
Not necessary — deletion works as expected, only the FTP client must re-connect to the local archive volume afterwards.
Fix
The FTP connection remains intact when deleting a file.
