File Upgrade

[Dark Ninja]

I have ProFTPd installed, version 2.2. Since version 2.4 came out, I want to upgrade (in order to fix security holes). However, there should be some way for me to upgrade using an RPM? (I downloaded the 2.4 RPM.)

If there is any way to do this, please let me know. Thank you.

If you downloaded the RPM, all you have to do is:

rpm -U <name>

That is, of course, if all of your supporting libraries are the correct ones (RPM will tell you if they aren't.) Another problem may be that your distribution may need it's own version (for instance, mandrake adds "features" to programs, which can be a pain--such as kde). For the most part, though, you should be in good shape.
