Amiga File Server
 

Hello friends,

The TURRAN FTP (The Ultimate Retro Repository for Amiga Nuts) is available here:

While we strongly recommend using the FTP, we do have a few options for people who only wants to download a limited amount of files.
You can browse and download a limited amount of files from here: https://ftp2.grandis.nu/turran/FTP (mirror https://ftp.grandis.nu/turran/FTP)
You can use this search and download: https://ftp2.grandis.nu/turransearch (mirror https://ftp.grandis.nu/turransearch) - Make sure HTTP Links are checked and you can directly download from your search results.

If you feel that you would like to donate then please use the "Donate with Paypal" link from here http://ftp2.grandis.nu/turran
Please note that the "Donate" link at the top of this page goes to running this forum and not the FTP specifically.

The TURRAN FTP is in no way affiliated with EAB (English Amiga Board). Our interests are just aligned. If you have complaints as a copyright owner from any of its contents, contact Turran on this forum.

If the FTP server goes down, you can PM Turran or post in this thread.

**************************************** IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ ****************************************

Anonymous access

The anonymous "ftp" account is restricted to 5 concurrent logins with no speed limits. If its full, try the mirror. Be aware that there are some rules that will ban you from the FTP for a number of hours/days if you download to much.
I will not provide the algorithm for this as there are a number of exceptions and the ban time varies depending on various factors. Just know that if you use the anonymous account, you can not just leech the whole FTP at once.

Upload access

Why register your own account on the TURRAN FTP when the "ftp" account works just as well? There are a few reasons.
The "ftp" account has a limit on concurrent logins (1) and might ban you for a few hours/days if you stay on for to long/download to much.

Your own registered account does not have any bans based on time/download, is limited to 2 concurrent logins and is required if you want to upload.

To create your own account, you must be a member of the EAB Forums here, have at least 50 posts to your name and your last post can be no older than 5 days.
If you only just arrived to EAB with nice things to upload but do not yet have the posts to create an FTP account, let Turran know and I'll add you manually.

You can create your own account from here:
https://ftp2.grandis.nu/turranadduser
https://ftp.grandis.nu/turranadduser
Be sure to read the upload rules presented here! Continuing will constitute you understanding and accepting them.
Select "I am a member at: English Amiga Board (EAB)"
Take note that the mirror is synced every few minutes. If you create your user on ftp.grandis.nu, it will take a while before you can log on to ftp2.grandis.nu and vice versa.


When you see this, you have entered everything correctly.

Once created, you can log in with your selected username and password.
To upload, log on to ftp2.grandis.nu and create a folder in ~Uploads with the same name as your username. Notice that it is case sensitive.
Uploads at ftp.grandis.nu are not possible at the moment as data is synced from ftp2.grandis.nu -> ftp.grandis.nu

You may login here with the same credentials to change your password and see some fun statistics: https://ftp.grandis.nu/turranuser https://ftp2.grandis.nu/turranuser

Please note though, that certain criteria to register your own account for uploads are applied:

1. You must have at least 50 posts on your EAB account.
2. Your last post must not be older than 5 days ago.
3. Once your account is created, you need to login / use it within 7 days. This is to verify your account and you only have to login once, not every 7 days.

General information

To login to the "TURRAN File Server" you can use your favorite FTP client. WinSCP is recommended unless you have your own preference.
If you are new to FTP sites, I wrote a quick guide for WinSCP to get you going here: https://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p...postcount=3477
Filezilla is another popular free choice.
Web browsers have generally stopped supporting FTP.

Notice for Filezilla users. Uncheck "Treat files without extension as ASCII files" or you'll end up with corrupt files. See more here. Thanks Crashdisk: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?p=1435011
Also, make sure to set maximum simultaneous transfers to 1 for the anonymous "ftp" account or 2 if you have your own registered account. Either do this in the Site Manager for the TURRAN FTP or globally:
To reduce the number of simultaneous transfers, open the application -> Edit -> Settings -> Transfers. There you will see a field called Maximum simultaneous transfers - change the value to 1 and click on OK to save the changes.
If you do not, you might get "530 Sorry, your maximum number of connections from this IP (1) has been reached." errors when trying to transfer files.

*********************************************** ENJOY!!! ***********************************************

I really like this. Pretty neat site design. :great

Nice, clean and useful :)
Thanks for making it even better!

Waiting for someone report it somewhere. Dont know if I should put :laughing or :(

Looks really fine and the search function is surely useful :great I think it's a good decision to do it this way Magix :)

Yes, definitely!
Before everyone had the power to upload (and delete?) files, now only the most trusted can (no offence, lol) under certain restrictions of the EAB FTP Police ;)
Good job on the search function, too!

oh well nothing ever lasts

so are uploads still done by ftp ?

I saw that the old Magix FTP is still active, but it doesn't accept the old user+pw... will it be shut down?

Ladies and gentlements, we have a winner! Our First Official Uploader is CosmicFrog. Congratulations! :D

Please check your PM. ;)Exactly. :guru

Cheers cosmicfrog :great Good to see that not everybody is scared off by the way of uploading stuff ;)

But i suspect they will though TCD

I know what you mean cosmicfrog. I won't put the usual 'if it's legal they don't have to fear anything' speech here, but I really hope that people that have useful stuff to share will recognise that this only should stop the 'black sheeps'. Maybe you can tell them how the process of 'registering' was then ;)

well the process of registering such that it is is`nt hahaha

still waitin for magix to sort an account out

I just tried the link above and got the following error
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/content/w/h/d/whdownload/html/sites/whdownload.com/eab.whdownload.com/index.php on line 271

Seems like Magix is working on it ;) I'm sure this is fixed in some minutes :)

Oops! I was uploading index file. Sorry. :D

Hey Magix,

Sorry to nitpick again about this, but please fix this sentence:
Even if released for free, a software can still be copyrighted. Don't confuse legal terms. Copyright is a broad term that includes intellectuial property, distribution, reproduction and many other rights. I'd say all of the stuff available at the FTP is copyrighted!

You explained pretty well what can't be uploaded, the other -still copyrighted- material is OK. It's not like any of the once commercially available games are now public domain (like abandonware alleges).



That aside, keep up the usual amazing work for the amiga community ;):great

Thanks for the explanation mate. :great Done.

Sorry to be a pain in the ass but I'm getting this error as well when I just tried it :rolleyes

Dave G :cool

So am I! :(
