File permissions look normal to be on stage, and file can be retrieved from http://stage...

16:59 < dmoore> oremj: deny_file={Firefox Setup 3.6.exe}
16:59 < dmoore> in /etc/vstftpd/ftp.mozilla.org.conf
16:59 < dmoore> It's explicitly denied in the daemon config, for some reason

I can imagine we might have done that before 3.6 final was released, or if the load was killing ftp.m.o, but that's the first I'd heard of it.

[John O'Duinn [:joduinn] (please use "needinfo?" flag)]

(Maybe it was put in place to prevent people downloading with ftp in advance of the FF3.6.0 release?)

Unless you have a reason to want to keep that deny_file setting, can you please remove it ?

Comment 5

[Derek Moore [:dmoore]]

Commented out the exclusion and confirmed the file can now be transferred.

Comment 6

[:Gavin Sharp [email: [e-mail]]]

Those deny rules were put in place intentionally, to prevent people linking to ftp.m.o for things that are on releases.m.o. I suppose that may be unlikely to occur now that 3.6 has been out the door for a while.
