Hmmm... ok. I guess I tend to oversimplify at times. I tended to think of
FTP being more complex that HTTP like a fork being more complex than a
spoon - both being so ubiquitous that use and support for both is expected
and well understood, but you and Matt both have excellent points.

Hi Matt,
Hmmm you're right. I have heard of FTP configuration issues through some
firewalls, though I haven't seen the problem myself. Good point. Thanks for
commenting. And yes, the compression (though it's not being used now) would
obviously be of significant benefit.
Darin.
Darin,
There are many people with firewall or client configuration issues that
cause problems with FTP, however HTTP rarely experiences issues and is
definitely easier to support. As far as efficiency goes, since the
rulebases will all be zipped, there is little to be gained from
on-the-fly
Thanks, Pete. Appreciate you taking the time to explain what's happening in
more detail.
I'm curious as to why FTP is more difficult than HTTP to debug, deploy,
secure, and scale, though. I tend to think of them on equal footing, with
the exception of FTP being faster and more efficient to transf

Many reasons. HTTP is simpler to deploy and debug, simpler to scale,
less of a security problem, etc...
Also, the vast majority of folks get their rulebase files from us with

Pete,
Log upload with ftp is now fine, tnx.
As an aside, I've been using the http with wget and gzip since December 2004
with no problems. The script on your site was very easy to implement with a
trigger from IMail. Our rulebase download takes about 19 to 20 seconds.
I wish there was a way to
BTW, the first test I did di not upload. It hung after logging in and
before the file was uploaded.
The second test went through.
I'm concerned that failure like this will cause logs not to get properly
rotated. Any input on this?

Hi Pete,

Can we request longer support for FTP to allow adequate time for everyone to

I remember trying dHTTP initially when this was set up, but it wasn't

Hello Sniffer Folks,
Now that the new delivery server is in place and functioning properly,
we have re-tuned the rulebase compilers to deliver updated rulebase
files 16.6% more quickly on average.
This means that you will receive updated rules more frequently
throughout the day and as a result yo
Hello Sniffer Folks,
The firewall issues we were having with our new delivery server appear
to have been resolved. I am showing good traffic via FTP at this time.
Normal ftp access for log uploads and SNF rulebase downloads via
www.sortmonster.net / ftp.sortmonster.net should work correctly now.
Pete,
Thanks. I'll check it tonight when I'm back at the office.

As a temporary measure you should be able to connect w/ ftp to:
