FTP Access

Blabbane · Post by **Blabbane** » Sun Jan 10, 2010 10:22 pm

Hello there FC, been lurking and rather silent for quite some time.

I was wondering if I could get access to the FTP. I have a few odds and ends that are somewhat rare which may or may not be up there, and I would be happy to contribute if I could.

Keep up the good work!

Good luck with that.

Gave up trying to get access ages ago.

There are two requirements that each member must meet before receiving access to the File Sharing forum:
1) The member must have been here for a certain amount of time
2) The member must have a certain number of meaningful posts
Basically, you can't be a lurker or brand new here and get access. And of course, you have to ask for it because access is not automatically granted to everyone.

Juva, you only asked for access once back in 2007 when you only had 1 post to your name. (Kishin and I keep track of these requests.) As far as I know, you had never again asked for access.

So, basically, you have to be here for at least a # of years? I have been a member for 1 and 1/2 now, so I don't mind waiting.

The waiting period isn't that long. And anyone who wants can ask me or Kishin for access, and we'll decide on a case-by-case basis if that person has enough "meaningful posts". If you aren't sure if you qualify, ask anyway because you might.

I'll try, but not right now.

Pretty sure one reason the "membership" is kept limited is because "the FTP" is not some magic box of infintie downloads. It is usually set up by a single individual with a typical home or university account. Too many users: and admins and ISPs take notice of the huge activity needed for video up/downloads.

Remember these aren't torrents. If 50 people trade 20 movies in a week then some kind volunteer is going to get some mail from his ISP as to why he's suddenly got terabytes of traffic going through his PC.

Plenty of early incarnations of FTP by other volunteers got shut down, probably one or two individuals got in some deep shit and were never heard from again, there have been many long periods with no FTP at all.

Please keep in mind that a lot of the files you might be looking for, from indie producers, probably aren't on the FTP. We discourage mass sharing, it hurts the producers, and makes them give up.

Many of the best ASFR things are still big league Hollywood things you can easily rent at Blockbuster or through Netflix. Hulu is also bringing many ASFR sources from old TV shows into public (though I CAN'T because I'm not in the USA, dammit)

So, If I qualify, is posting here the way to ask for access?

You might think that; but they made me take a cable modem business account, for my huge download traffic usage.
And they haven't said a word, after five months of FTP x ~8 GB/day =~1.2 TB.

Could I possibly get access to our ftp/files forums? Just curious as to what is in there. Thanks!

Come to think of it, have I ever asked for access? I think I've been here for several years already.

Hello. I know I don't post much, but I've been a member for many years. Is it possible for me to get FTP access? There's a couple of things I'd like to download that I can't find elsewhere (and I've looked)

Thanks very much.

I know I had access once upon a time. Is it possible to get access to the FTP once again, and if yes, how do I get in there? Thanks!!!

Any more /specifics/ on FTP access? I want in, but R-man's post was a little...scarce on the exact criteria, so I'm not sure I would qualify.

Has the url to the ftp changed? I've got it saved in my favourite's but that's coming up with "This page can't be displayed"

dale coba · Post by **dale coba** » Thu Mar 06, 2014 10:14 pm

Yeah, that's still on my end, slow to recover from the chaos of my boot partition crashing last week. I'm still waiting to hear whether that data can be recovered intact (logical, not mechanical error).

It shouldn't be too much longer before I get the FTP back up.
I'll be sure to let everyone know.

Oh feck, sorry to hear that. Thought it was my end.

Be good to hear when it's resolved (fingers crossed)

Bilbo1 · Post by **Bilbo1** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 4:16 am

Any news on the return of the FTP????

dale coba · Post by **dale coba** » Thu Jul 02, 2015 5:02 am

The FTP is up, stayed up while FC was down.

Some minor interruptions, and frequent modem resets because Comcast R stoopid.

Discussion has been in the Sharing forum.
