Anonymous ftp access ending May 1, 2024

April 3, 2024 by Rob McNicholas

For many years the Department has operated an anonymous ftp server at ftp.eecs.berkeley.edu and ftp.cs.berkeley.edu. Before web sites, this was how software and papers were distributed to the public. Since web sites are the preferred way to distribute digital assets these days, no new content has been published on our ftp servers for over a decade. We will be ending support for anonymous ftp access effective May 1, 2024. After that time, the current contents of our ftp archive will continue to be made available via a web page at https://ftp.eecs.berkeley.edu and https://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/.

Update: May 1, 1pm: The ftp server has been shut down. The replacement web page is up at https://ftp.eecs.berkeley.edu
