Apples Fixes Vexing FTP Problem for AirPort
Are you a suffering from heartbreak of File Transfer Protocol (FTP) over AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme? Do you know someone who suffers from dropped, halted, or interrupted transfers? Take the latest firmware micro-releases for the two base station models, and don't call me in the morning.
Apple released two micro-releases today that add to their recent major upgrades to Extreme and Express firmware: AirPort Extreme Firmware 5.5.1 and AirPort Express Firmware 6.1.1.
These micro-release numbers belie the major fixes: improving hard reset feedback through LEDs, reinstating printers that should work but failed after the last firmware upgrade, fixing a slow crash problem for WPA used with WDS, and this major FTP problem. A PPPoE garble added in the last firmware update for Extreme is also repaired.
