NANOGers – Please see the following operationally relevant information about the retirement of support for FTP at ARIN on 31 March 2025 (forwarded here for your planning purposes.) After that date, one will need to use HTTP/HTTPS to access the same data archives. FYI, /John John Curran President and CEO American Registry for Internet Numbers Begin forwarded message: From: ARIN <info@arin.net> Subject: [arin-announce] ARIN Will Retire the Use of FTP on 31 March 2025 Date: December 30, 2024 at 2:36:44 PM EST To: "arin-announce@arin.net" <arin-announce@arin.net> From 20 September to 4 October 2024, ARIN held a consultation seeking feedback from the community on retiring FTP support, which serves data from ftp.arin.net. ARIN has operated an FTP service for various reports and templates since its inception. After reviewing the feedback received during the consultation, ARIN plans to move forward with work required to support the retirement of FTP use at ARIN, and the projected retirement date is 31 March 2025. This includes coordinating with the other Regional Internet Registries 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 synchronization and mirroring of these data sets. All data currently available via FTP will continue to be available over HTTP and HTTPS. ARIN will provide reminders at regular intervals as we approach the retirement date.
