Could you offer a way to download files from avsim via HTTP?

[Guest Honkar]

On my side a firewall is running that disallows allpassive ftp connections for security reasons.So the only thing i can use for downloading filesis active ftp or http.I heared that you turned active ftp downloading off,but what about http?Could you make it possible to downloadthe files via http?

Active FTP will work if your firewall can handle it. We merely recommend Passive FTP because most firewalls don't do FTP conntracking properly!

>Active FTP will work if your firewall can handle it.How should it handle it?I can use active FTP on other sites.But i can't log in on avsim's ftp server with my ftp client.

I get an error code 530 Login failed when i tryto connect to library.avsim.net via active ftp.Does the ftp server for library.avsim.net useanother login name than the avsim librarywhen accessed via a Browser?

We don't allow direct FTP access, so you would only be getting dropped signals anyway.

>We don't allow direct FTP access, so you would only be>getting dropped signals anyway.So that means that you only allow passive FTP acces.Active ftp access IS direct FTP access.In this case back to my first question.Could you make it possible to allow downloads via HTTP?
