[SAC] Uploading to download.osgeo.org fails

Hi SAC,

I fail to access the download server with scp in order to deposit the
new GRASS source code
package there (as I did in the past).
Is there an IP restriction?

ssh: connect to host download.osgeo.org port 22: Connection timed out

Interestingly I can reach it from grass.osgeo.org (which I can reach
from Italy).

Additionally, user "warmerdam" is owner of "my" files on
download.osgeo.org:/osgeo/download/grass/

so I cannot upload even from grass.osgeo.org. I am no longer in the
sudoers list there
hence I cannot fix that myself.

There is a similar problem with “pgRouting” download folder.
Since user “warmerdam” is directory owner I can’t make any changes.

Best regards,
Daniel

Not that I'm aware of, although it will ban you for a time with several
incorrect password attempts.

I have no problems creating new files in grass as a regular user. Are
you trying to edit file that are already up?

so I cannot upload even from grass.osgeo.org. I am no longer in the

Thanks,

I just added group write permissions, please try again.

Thanks,

Maybe the respectivbe projects should simply be given their file and
directory ownership back to them. If "warmerdam" is the owner of all
these directories and files, then something must have obviously taken
the wrong direction - probably some mis-guided so-called "cleanup"-
procedure.

I believe it's due to the restore process copying from the backup
machine after the download server was fresh installed.

I'm not sure assigning ownership to a single user solves the problem,
assuming we know who the user should be for a given project. The group
is already set to users and everyone with access is part of that group
so it should provide access for them to chown if they want. Note I only
did it on grass and pgRouting so far.

We've also been experimenting in the livedvd folder with methods for
automatically ensuring group write to all new subfiles/folders.

Thanks,
Alex

I would be grateful to have my files back :slight_smile: Currently allmost all files in
/osgeo/download/ belong to "warmerdam".

Re attempts: I made a single one. Since it time-outed immediately, I
could not even enter the pw. Anyway, I tried again now and could
login, so that one is solved.

Markus

Yes, likely (scp without -p or so?).

To some extent yes since the project owner can arrange the rest.

is already set to users and everyone with access is part of that group

but it is still:
drwxrwxr-x 9 warmerdam users 4096 2010-08-27 07:32 grass/

Thank you, Alex!

For pgRouting folder it worked to change group to “user”.

It does not fully help, the timestamps are not maintained.

Please chown the files/directories in /osgeo/download/grass/ back to
me (new files
are "mine" anyway). Otherwise all timestamps of new uploads are ruined.

thanks
