Public Access File Repository !

The Macintosh Garden Public Access File Repository !

About the service

This is a new service we're offering, and for now it'll run as a trial to see how well it's received. The idea behind it is mainly to offer a means to archive / mirror the file base either for personal reasons or through fear that the garden may vanish (which it will not).

My hopes is that this will put an end to many and most of the poorly crafted scraping tools some users and guests are (ab)using. This is our gift to you, FTP access where all of the apps, games and manuals are synchronized every three (3) hours.

Anti-Hammering

Your IP may get blocked if you try to sign in too many times (5 times under 1 minute). In case of accidents, like the client attempting to open more connections and failing several times in a row, please use the contact form and I'll assist as soon as possible.

Do note that this also applies to the application and game pages if you choose to use the FTP link instead of web link to download files.

FTP Clients

From a Mac, you can use popular clients such as Fetch Transmit and Cyberduck For Windows, there are tools such as FileZilla FlashFXP and WinSCP

Finally ...

The files within the FTP servers are unsorted, thus listing the contents may be slow. This will be addressed later and is currently not a priority.
