The Ultimate Guide to High Availability with MariaDB

MariaDB FTP Server

You are viewing an old version of this article. View the current version here.

The MariaDB Foundation has provided a secure FTP server which can be used to upload files to be used by MariaDB developers, for example table structure and data for bug reports.

To access it, use your favorite FTP client and anonymously connect to ftp://ftp.mariadb.org.

TLS FTP connections are privileged, depending on your FTP client, you may have to accept the TLS certificate (Let's Encrypt).

After you log in, you will see three folders: private, public, and secret.

  • The public folder is for files that the MariaDB developers want to give the public access to (patches, samples etc).
  • The private folder is for uploads. Files uploaded there can only be accessed by MariaDB developers. You will not be able to see your upload and this folder does not allow downloads. This is done to protect any sensitive information which may be in test results, mysqld & core files. Upload those into this folder
  • The secret folder is for private downloads. Files in this folder are not visible so you will need the complete filename to successfully download a file from this folder.

You can also use the following curl command to upload a file directly in the private folder in a secure way:

curl -T file.tgz -u anonymous:anonymous https://webdav.mariadb.org/private/file.tgz

Using lftp (enter a blank password):

lftp -u anonymous -e 'put  MDEV-XXXXX_sql_dump.tgz' ftp://ftp.mariadb.org/private/

Note for MariaDB Developers: please request your access to the SFTP service if not already at [email protected] (provide public SSH key and username). You will then be able to access the service with:

sftp [email protected]
