Help with ftp/download problem (1 Viewer)

[mikhail]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to access
ftp://cherupakha.media.mit.edu/pub/el-publications/Theses/Martin
, but ftp is disabled in my lab, and I can't get it to download in a browser. Could someone download it for me and attach it here?

Thanks

That's what I get too. Any idea why?

 

[gray]

no other explanation than the server being bummed out at the moment... give it a while, is it urgent?

No. I'll try to find a mirror, but if it'll be back up at some stage, I'm not too worried. Thanks Gray.

It's not quite that bad! I'm doing a final year project, which involves the design of a robotics lab for first year engineers, and the associated lab materials. Martin is the guy in that field, and I want his thesis, even if only to thump it down as a cited reference in my report.

No dice, server doesn't respond to any requests.

 

[mikhail]

Do you have a better idea of why? Is this likely to be a perminant problem?

 

[Martin]

Hard to say, could be temporary could be more permanent. When a server doesn't respond to ping requests, that means it's either blocking icmp or just won't accept connections at all.

I ran a port scan on it, ftp port isn't open so either filtered behind a firewall or the ftp server isn't running.

here's a "fun" excercise... use netcraft.com to check what your college/department runs on their server(s)

on the frontpage of netcraft, under "what's that site running?" enter the server name. here's mine:

hist.no (college)
Compaq Tru64, Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) PHP/4.2.3
aitel.hist.no (cs department)
Linux, Apache/1.3.26 (Unix) Debian GNU/Linux mod_ssl/2.8.9 OpenSSL/0.9.6c PHP/4.1.2
