CTAN: ftp://tug.ctan.org is back
by CTAN Announcements 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

The FTP download service at tug.ctan.org is back after an outage of a couple of days, caused by a security notice issued for the program that runs the downloads. Thanks to Rainer for the report and help with fixing the problem. Ordinary users are not directly affected by this outage and reset. (Except, those mirror sites that rely on FTP may take a day to sync their entire holdings to this site and so a user trying to get quite recent material at a mirror may see a day's delay.) I'll note that in the reconfiguration I've abandoned anonymous FTP uploads. Those days are gone. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College

by CTAN Announcements 02 Nov '10

A security flaw has been found in the the FTP server program that is used at the tug.ctan.org node of CTAN, as noted earler by Rainer. Consequently I shut off this service. I expect that it will be off for a few days, for lack of time to repair it. I apologize for the inconvienence. Individuals who use HTTP would not be immediately affected by this change. Jim
