754613 - Please add an ftp binary to global users accessible on upload[1,2].mozilla.org

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Justin Wood (:Callek)]

So, surf.m.o used to have an ftp binary available, and SeaMonkey had started to use that as a means to upload our win32 binaries across to some VirusScan Vendors to get preemptive scans going on our betas/releases.

We created a script to do so (located at /home/seabld/viruspush.sh) and set up related permissions/setup to do it well.

Is it possible to once-again allow both that binary (and port flow if necessary) so that we can do this from upload1/2 via these scripts rather than needing to do it elsewhere and thus also downloading all the binaries we want to push manually?

I will not block SeaMonkey 2.10 Beta 1 on this, but if at ALL possible I want to once again use this script magic for SeaMonkey 2.10 Beta 2...

the ftp yum package is probably what we want, though I won't even try to install (in the slim chance seabld has perms to do so I don't want to alter installed anythings on this system)
