NOW CLOSED – Consultation on ARIN FTP Retirement
Posted: Wednesday, 09 October 2024
ACSP/Surveys
From 20 September to 4 October, ARIN held a consultation seeking feedback from the community on retiring FTP protocol support, which serves data from ftp.arin.net. ARIN has operated an FTP protocol service for various reports and templates since its inception. The projected retirement date is on or after 31 March 2025, and it is noted that all data available via FTP is also available over HTTP and HTTPS.
After reviewing and discussing the comments received during the consultation, ARIN plans to move forward with work required to support the retirement of FTP. This includes coordinating with the other RIRs to ensure that the mirrors of the extended statistics data are migrated to HTTP/HTTPS, as well as determining an appropriate solution and implementing a method that will allow community members to run delta synchronization and mirroring of these data sets.
ARIN thanks those who provided valuable feedback on this consultation. We rely on this input from our members and community to help steer the organization as we continue our mission in support of the operation and growth of the Internet.
Regards,
John Curran
President and CEO
American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
