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.
Server banner:
Welcome! You've logged into the ftp.dcrubro.com FTP server.
All files are in /pub/ — run "ls" to browse, "cd pub" to enter,
and "get <filename>" to download. Make sure you're in binary
mode first ("bin").

Connection Details
- Host:
ftp.dcrubro.com - Port:
21(use passive mode if you're behind NAT/firewall) - Username:
anonymous(orftp) - 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.
