Is ftp access down again? The download links on the PETSc website appear to just stall... Derek On Thu, Mar 29, 2018 at 9:52 AM Satish Balay <[email protected]> wrote:

ftp.mcs.anl.gov is now back online [serving ftp:// - http:// is not yet enabled]

petsc configure builds with --download-package option should now work.

For direct tarball download - switching the URL from http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov to ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov notation is the temporary workaround. For eg:

change: http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/release-snapshots/petsc-3.8.4.tar.gz to: ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/petsc/release-snapshots/petsc-3.8.4.tar.gz

We've been informed by the site admin that ftp.mcs.anl.gov is taken down due to 'cyber incident' - there is no ETA on when it will be back.

We've been using it the primary host for distributing petsc tarballs and hosting some externalpackage tarballs - so some of the petsc buils with '--download-package' option are failing.

Obtaining petsc [and some most externalpackages] via git should work.

I will update when ftp.mcs.anl.gov is brought back up.
