ftp4.gwdg.de FTP Server Down (HTTP is OK)
Hi, I don't know if Eberhard M. is aware of it or not, but the FTP server on ftp4.gwdg.de has been down since at least about 16:00 GMT yesterday (Tues. morning here on the N.A. west coast). The HTTP counterpart is up and running. Randall Schulz

This is not true. ftp4 is up and running, with all services, all the time. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)

At this very moment (06:58 AM PST on Nov. 30, 2005) the HTTP server responds but the FTP server does not. This is true both via my browser and via both the Software Source Media and Software Management modules of YaST. It seems unlikely that it's an issue with the intervening hosts or routing problems if I can connect to the HTTP server on that host and not the FTP server. Randall Schulz

All evidence to the contrary.

Randall, I'm having no problem connecting via ftp, which means that the problem is your end. Regards Craig

OK. So I tried to think of what could account for HTTP working and FTP not. So I thought "firewall." But I had not changed my firewall configuration in weeks, yet the FTP access to ftp4.gwdg.de stopped working yesterday. Nonetheless, I checked it out. I found that, as I remembered configuring it, output FTP connections were permitted and inbound were not. So on a lark, I enabled inbound ones, too (I don't run an FTP server). Now I can connect to via FTP to ftp4.gwdg.de. So, has the configuration of the FTP server on ftp4.gwdg.de changed? Is it now using passive mode FTP where it was not before? By the way, the FTP side of the Guru's RPM repository still has packages that are not available via the HTTP server (e.g., baobab and knmap), which was why I changed from the HTTP to the FTP server in the first place.

It would appear to be a problem on your end Randall as I can connect to ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-stable/inst-source/ without a problem. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998

Taking italian lessons ? ^___^ Eberhard, to your knowledge there are actually people mirroring "your" server ? I think that being exposed in that manner as the ONLY source for suser-people on the openSUSE wiki will lead often to undesired problems with it. If so maybe we can put that mirrors on the wiki page, and for now Ciao e Grazie -- .~.

Not directly; it is a famous word of the last german chancellor. But he is an Italy fan, at least was it until some bad words from one of Berlusconi's fellows which lead him to cancel his Italy holidays some lately.

No problems at my side so far.

I do not know that, and I do not like to inspect the logs for it, and even if I would find some mirrors it would be up to them to announce it (or not). You should place a call at the apt4rpm-suse@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list - I guess all mirrors of the suser-XXX directories are reading there.

Folks, could you please calm down a bit? ftp{,4}.gwdg.de isn't the only mirror for SUSE Linux, but it is (and has been) the primary mirror for years. However ftp{,4}.gwdg.de offers a lot of 3rd party repos, which is a unique selling proposition of course ;) If there are actually mirrors, that mirror those 3rd party repos, they should be mentioned in the wiki - but it's not that unproblematic to mirror the apt-rpm metadata (which is still used very widely). Anyway, if Eberhard is telling you the server is up and running, I can assure you that it is 100% _up and running_. Regards Christoph 5B

But most of the time ftp4 is up and running without me telling it. ;-)) Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
