I have already experimented with it. With SFTP it is even possible to create symbolic links. :-) So you can have static package names, which always link to the most actual version... I hope that I will stay able to maintain them in the future. see http://download.sv.nongnu.org/releases/akfquiz/ (By the way, it is also accessible with nongnu replaced with gnu. Is that a bug? It is definitely not a GNU package (yet?)) Furthermore I could also use "scp" to upload files. That might also be interesting. To some people that might be easier. > It will be troublesome to keep both the old FTP queue > system and SFTP at the same time though. Why?

The FTP method wasn't very convenient either and it was extremely limited in what you can do. The only concern I have is, that unfortunately not all ssh implementations are compatible to each other. So it might be a problem for some people. What I really would like to have is, that others can download the files by anonymous FTP. -- AKFoerster
