The FTP service for the CTAN main node dante.ctan.org is working again, after replacing the ftp server software (proftpd) by another one (vsftpd). With this change, FTP uploads on dante.ctan.org are no longer possible. Uploads should be done via the web interface: http://upload.ctan.org/ For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

tug.ctan.org also down due to security problem with FTP server program.
by CTAN Announcements 02 Nov '10

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
