In this paper necessary and sufficient conditions of $L^\infty$-controllability and approximate $L^\infty$-controllability are obtained for the control system $w_{tt}=\frac{1}{\rho} (k w_x)_x+\gamma w$, $w(0,t)=u(t)$, $x>0$, $t\in(0,T)$. Here $\rho$, $k$, and $\gamma$ are given functions on $[0,+\infty)$; $u\in L^\infty(0,\infty)$ is a control; $T>0$ is a constant. These problems are considered in special modified spaces of the Sobolev type introduced and studied in the paper. The growth of distributions from these spaces is associated with the equation data $\rho$ and $k$. Using some transformation operator introduced and studied in the paper, we see that this control system replicates the controllability properties of the auxiliary system $z_{tt}=z_{xx}-q^2z$, $z(0,t)=v(t)$, $x>0$, $t\in(0,T)$, and vise versa. Here $q\ge0$ is a constant and $v\in L^\infty(0,\infty)$ is a control. Necessary and sufficient conditions of controllability for the main system are obtained from the ones for the auxiliary system.
