ARIN Has Retired the Use of FTP Protocol

Posted: Monday, 31 March 2025

As first announced in December 2024, ARIN has now retired the use of FTP protocol within our organization.

All ARIN data previously available via the FTP protocol continues to be available over HTTP and HTTPS at the same file locations. ARIN has coordinated with the other Regional Internet Registries to ensure that the mirrors of the extended statistics data are available over HTTP and HTTPS.

For more information on how to retrieve resources you may have previously accessed via the FTP protocol, read the recent post on the ARIN Blog.

This work was informed by feedback received by the community during a consultation held from 20 September to 4 October 2024 regarding the retirement of ARIN’s support of the FTP protocol.

Regards,

American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN)
