"Random FTP server"? You mean the GNU FTP server?
- orf 6y agoYou speak of that like it’s some bastion of software delivery. You mean THE gnu ftp server?? It’s a random FTP server. Could be sourceforge for it all it matters. Doesn’t even support SFTP.
- rekado 6y agoIf you look closely you'll see that ftp.gnu.org is an HTTP server. But it seems that you just want to troll.
- orf 6y agoAnd if you look closer you’ll see that it’s a FTP server with a HTTP interface (http, not https, by default mind you). ftp://ftp.gnu.org/
- mcosta 6y agoThe link is http, https also works. Even if it is only http, so what? PGP signatures exists too.
- spicybright 6y agoAnd if you really squint hard enough you can blur out all your comments and not have to read them.
- spicybright 6y agoAny server is a random FTP server, what's your point? You can't trust any of them, only those who run it to a certain degree. The GNU project has been around since 84 and has always tried to maintain solid open source software vetted by real people. What do you trust instead?
