xavier: what made your mirror stop working?
FTP Passive is NOT working on pike ftp server. This is not a problem about my ftp client firewall or whatever.
yes, but the passive ftp problem has been there for more than two months. so something changed on your side too.
I have temporaly fixed that by : 02500 29 1392 allow tcp from 130.236.182.30 to me setup in my ipfw configuration, but I *don't* like to have a naked machine on the net trusted a server I don't adminstrate...
is that what you have been doing to get your mirror to work up until two months ago?
- make passive FTP working (simple just configure a range of passive
ports in IDA's firewall)
this may not even be possible, given that IDA is a university institute. universities are not known to be very forthcoming when it comes to changing policy. worse, it may even be the main university firewall doing the blocking.
or
- make ftp archive from IDA that can be accessible by rsync...
that would be usefull. for any other mirrors too.
