FWIW, I used my shell access to poke around the downloads area to find things in our massive collection of p2 repositories in the download area. sftp worked just fine for that. Except maybe for the manual 'find' you end up doing to find things in directory trees.
Cheers, Doug. ________________________________ From: cross-project-issues-dev-boun...@eclipse.org [cross-project-issues-dev-boun...@eclipse.org] on behalf of Greg Watson [g.wat...@computer.org] Sent: Monday, July 29, 2019 9:07 AM To: Cross project issues Cc: eclipse.org-committ...@eclipse.org Subject: Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] The end of an era: shell access. I would like to thank Jonah Graham for helping us to overcome this restriction imposed on us by the Foundation. Thanks Jonah!

If the foundation wants to do this then it should be providing a generic automated release process that all projects use, and in the interim provide the resources to convert manual release processes to CI-driven ones. If they do this, then I might reconsider, but it would depend on how difficult things become.

For the last couple of years[1][2] we've been working to reduce that number as far as possible, and the time has come to finish the process. Effective August 28th 2019 we will be transitioning all committers that still have a regular shell to our restricted shell. You will still be able to use SFTP and SCP to interact with the downloads and archive areas(but we suggest a job on your Eclipse CI instance!) If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact Webmaster. -Matt.
