When I start uftpd the program stop and I get "Can't change directory: Bad file descriptor".
I am using the latest version 4.9.10 on a linux system.
The recent changes regarding the chdir might be the problem,
The manual for chdir says: On success, zero is returned.
It is code zero is error.

Thomas,

Yes, this is a problem. I'll issue a fix for this. In the meantime, you can work around this by using the -d option to run the process in the foreground which skips the chdir call.

Regards,
Dennis
