Harry Potter Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Hi! A long time ago, I successfully uploaded some programs to zimmers.net and commodore.software. However, now, when I try to reach these sites' administrators, I get no response. Is there a special way I need to upload to these sites?

carlsson Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Has Bo removed the incoming folder on the ftp? I don't see him super active, but if ftp doesn't work, perhaps send him an email asking about uploads. The other site, I have never heard of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Potter Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 What is the URL of Zimmerman's ftp site? I can use FileZilla to upload the files but don't know the ftp site. As for the latter, you can just go to that link, but I see no more way to upload the files. It used to have a link that, if I'm logged on, will allow me to upload a file, but that link is gone.

Harry Potter Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 I found Zimmerman's ftp site, and indeed it contains an incoming folder, but it's empty. No recent uploads? I'm about to prepare some files to upload now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I believe incoming is set up so it won't display files just added, though they remain there for the admin to pick up, sort and place in the right places. At least that is how nearly every ftp site I've visited in the past 25++ years has behaved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hofster Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Depending on what it is that you're uploading to Zimmers he may or may not include them on the site. I emailed Bo asking him if he wanted a newer drive firmware than the one he already had on the site but he didn't want it because it was for a third party drive and not a Commodore drive and the site is only for Commodore stuff. I guess he's a purist nowadays. Not that I understand how older firmware versions for third party drivers are better to keep on the site than newer versions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Remember that the ftp used to be at FUNET, maintained by Marko Mäkelä before it was transferred to Zimmers. Quite possibly some folders and files followed along in the move, stuff that was borderline relevant but it would be a shame to delete entirely. I agree though that if it is a Commodore compatible drive, updated firmware doesn't take many kilobytes so it should fit on the site.

hofster Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 That makes perfect sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 That is frustrating to know, being that I often use Zimmers as a primary trusted resource, even for non-Commodore equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
