Solved: APC ftp site not functional

[Dougga_apc]

The ftp server for APC isn't working thus I can't download any files.
Is there an alternative site or mirror that has the adequate infrastructure to support the user base?

Thanks

Update: It appears the ftp site is not compatible with my http/ftp proxy. Reconfiguring the network got me in. Note: I know of no other site where this problem exists.

More details:

Using Sophos/Astaro (www.astaro.com) http/ftp proxy attempting to download a file from ftp.apc.com fails.
- any connection attempt to ftp.apc.com hangs with "connecting to ftp.apc.com".

Temporarily turning off the proxy allows the downloading of files.

Hello same problem for me.

I'm using Filezilla 3.60.1 on Win11 from a home network (no proxy).

The url is not valid :

ftp://ftp.apc.com/apc/public/hardware/webcard/firmware/security/v326b/

😞

Thanks,

Vincent

ftp.apc.com was decommissioned a few years ago, and there is no replacement.
