Thank you.Starbud wrote:I'm having a discussion with a person who is one of the admins of one of the largest universitys in Sweden, the discussion is about the SSH thingie, might be a slight worry about the bandwith too because you could theoretically use up almost any bandwith you like there, i dont think they set quota for the accounts, can you set a limit to the usage if needed?
If i understood it properly it is a diffrent serverpark for anything involving SSH than for regular webservices.
But if you can accept just FTP access to the HTTP server you will have another server as soon as i send a message saying you want it
First off, SSH is mandatory. FTP is way to insecure, and very outdated. Using rsync is much more safe, but also: much less bandwidth. It automatically only sends the files missing. FTP can do this too, but with much more difficulty and effort. So sorry, we do not accept a mirror with FTP as upload.
About the bandwidth: we cannot promise anything bandwidth wise. We can only say the traffic will be around 0.5TB currently. The more mirrors, the lower this will be. And it can boom during a release. We can't make promises on that. (mostly as people can raw access the mirror at any time).
I still hope you can figure something out for us
Thank you for your time and effort!
