Nobody probably noticed while the CD-images where there, the link Stealth posted no longer works in any case.

ARGH! sometimes i try to access ur ftp server, all these strange things happen.  sometimes it says "input user id and password" and stuff.  i use anonymous user and it says that it was rejected.  if i do somehow get in, i double click the FS2 disc 1.iso and it opens a new window.  sometimes the window says page not found, sometimes it loads and never ends (5HOURS!) and I HAVE DSL!   and wat  do u do if u download it? i downloaded it and it said "UNKNOWN FORMAT" and stuff.

Unknown format?  its a standard ISO image.... 

If you have trouble accessing it, try this:

Go into internet explorer, click tools and then internet options.  Click the advanced tab and scroll down to the option that says "Use FTP in Passive Mode (required for DSL Modem or Firewall compatibility)"...  if its checked, uncheck it and see if it works, if it was not originally checked, try checking it and try accessing the FTP again...

I gave those instructions to a person that was having trouble access it, and he said it is a breeze now...  that should do it....

hope this helps, Zman...

Do you actually know what to do with an ISO when you have it nos_mercenary? (It's really hard to gauge someones technical skills from such a short post).

Just in case you don't.

You want to burn it to CD or better still use something like Nero or Daemon Tools to add a virtual CD drive to your PC which can read the ISO straight off your HD. It's generally a good idea to mount a file first so you can see if the ISO is corrupt rather than burning it and only finding out then.

thx .

Did the FTP instructions help?

I can connect to the ftp through firefox, not through IE, with or without unchecked - and when i try start the download through firefox, it times out.

I downloaded the HOTU Freespace 2 version. What am I supposed to get from the FTP to make it like the retail version? The site said there was a set of VP files but I don’t see them there.

[karajorma]

This FTP isn't the one with the VPs on it. ZmaN is sharing the entire game rather than the files needed to make the HotU version work. If you can spare the bandwidth this is the better one to get really.

If you can't then you want Fractux's FTP.

I've been getting a lot of hits lately, and XP is hard coded to limit the connections to 10 connections at once....  when all ten are taken, it will time out....

since everyne is skipping this stepp, ill post it again...

Edit your first post in this thread with that information.

Is your FTP having problems?  After every attempt at resuming file transfer times out, I decided to do a little digging, and I found this.

Code: [Select]

ftp> open 67.84.198.176
Connected to 67.84.198.176.
220 Microsoft FTP Service
User (67.84.198.176:(none)): anonymous
331 Anonymous access allowed, send identity (e-mail name) as password.
Password:
230 Anonymous user logged in.
ftp> ls
500 Invalid PORT Command.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.It will just stay at that point until I do a ^C.  Login seems to work, but commands do not.  Then I tried something else, just to see what I can see.

Code: [Select]

ftp> dir
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.What's this, /bin/ls on Microsoft FTP software?  I think something may be wrong...  but then again, that may be how it should be, I dunno MS FTP very well .  If you can see me in your logs, I am the 71.197.x.x IP.  Maybe there is something wrong on my end?

I'm not sure dude, and well i feel like im gunna die in my chair right now....

Guys, im msoooo sorry about this, but it seems my computer has gotten a virus and decided to crash today....  The whole thing cant start, and I need to do a repair install of windows XP Pro, get my data off (including FS2 CD Images) and reinstall windows.... 

Now, I dont know how long this is going to take, but for now, the computer is dead, meaning that the FTP is dead until its back up and running....  If I take too long, fell free to take the sticky down (although, i would prefer having it up, as My computer will have everything done in about a week or so)....

So in short, No FTP for a week, becuase windows decided to commit suicide....  I wouldnt be suprised if I got a WMF virus.....  heck, thats probably it...

L8r...

Hi all. I've been looking for the hi res file for Freespace 2 all over the internet, and on P2P programs to no avail. I tried the ftp link in this thread and that doesn't seem to work either. Is there anywhere else I could find the extra files and possibly movies for freespace 2? Hoping for a reply

[karajorma]

Try the other FTP thread in this forum.

I really ought to qualify that one in the FAQ

[ZmaN]

Its up!!!!  I finish my XP install...  got it running nice and smooth, and the FTP seems to be running faster too....  no time to log into it myself....  have fun people...
