DcruBro's Web Server

ftp.dcrubro.com — Anonymous FTP

I run a small anonymous FTP server as a mirror of various files. If you have an FTP client (or just curl), you can grab files directly. Don't have a client handy? Use the HTTP file browser further down this page.

Connection Details

• Host: ftp.dcrubro.com
• Port: 21 (use passive mode if you're behind NAT/firewall)
• Username: anonymous (or ftp)
• Password: blank, or your email address by convention
• IP support: reachable over both IPv4 and IPv6 (DNS publishes A + AAAA records)
• Transfer mode: switch to binary (bin) before downloading
• TLS: an FTPS (FTP over TLS) variant is also available if you prefer an encrypted session

All files live under /pub/ — cd pub after you connect.

Example: classic ftp client

ftp ftp.dcrubro.com
# Name: anonymous
# Password: (press Enter, or type your email)
bin            # switch to binary mode
cd pub         # all files live here
ls             # browse
get README     # download a file
bye

Force a protocol if you need to: ftp -4 ftp.dcrubro.com (IPv4) or ftp -6 ftp.dcrubro.com (IPv6).

Example: lftp and curl

# lftp — nicer interactive client (handles passive mode automatically)
lftp ftp.dcrubro.com
# then: cd pub; ls; get <filename>

# curl — list a directory
curl ftp://ftp.dcrubro.com/pub/ --user anonymous:

# curl — download a single file (-O keeps the remote name)
curl -O ftp://ftp.dcrubro.com/pub/README --user anonymous:

# Force IPv4 or IPv6 with curl
curl --ipv4 ftp://ftp.dcrubro.com/pub/ --user anonymous:
curl --ipv6 ftp://ftp.dcrubro.com/pub/ --user anonymous:

# wget — mirror a whole directory
wget -r --no-parent ftp://ftp.dcrubro.com/pub/

Browse files over HTTP

Same files as the FTP server, downloadable straight from your browser. Handy from a headless box or anywhere an FTP client isn't available.

That folder could not be found. Showing the top level instead.
