Sorry to ask but what do you mean? you cannot access the download section or you cannot apply the patches? Byr

No anonymous access on the matrixgames ftp servers... At least, that is what my browser is telling me. I have not reached the point of applying the patches yet. Neill

I've been having the same trouble downloading SPWAW patches. I've been trying since the beginning of July to no avail. I've tried anonymous, I've tried my Matrix Message Board registration. Nothing. :confused:

I tried the ftp site about an hour ago, and it worked fine for me - anonymous login worked, and I downloaded the CD labels :) I didn't use a browser, but a command line ftp client instead (ncftp for those in the linux world). ... I just tried it using a browser, and it didn't work. Something odd in the login dialog is that it claims the user/pass is for ftp.matrixgames.com:80 That's odd, because it says port 80, but ftp doesn't use port 80, that's http. It looks like it's using http verification for ftp access. I think someone needs to have a look at the configuration of the server. ... In the mean time, for those looking for some adventure, here's how to do it the hard way :eek: (note that this won't work if you're behind a strict firewall, but should work on any Windows computer): [Edit to add: In all of the following, where it says type and then something in bold letters, enter it all on one line, even if it doesn't appear that way here... ] [list]
  • Press the windows Start button, and select Run... from the menu. In the dialog that appears, type ftp ftp.matrixgames.com and press enter.
  • In the window that opens, you should see something like this:[code]Connected to ftp.matrixgames.com. 220 Serv-U FTP-Server v2.5 for WinSock ready... Name (ftp.matrixgames.com:something): [/code] Type anonymous and press enter, the type your email address and press enter again. You should see something like this:[code] 230 User logged in, proceed. ...some other stuff... ftp> [/code] You are now logged in. :D
  • Before you do anything else, type binary and press enter. It may not be necessary, but if it is and you don't, you'll be in for a world of hurt.
  • Now you need to find the SP:WaW files. Fortunately, I have done this for you :). Type cd /pub/SteelPanthersWorldAtWar and press enter. If it works, you'll see a message like[code] 250 Directory changed to /pub/SteelPanthersWorldAtWar[/code] If it doesn't work, you'll get something like[code] 550 /pub/SteelPantherzWorldAtWar: No such file or directory.[/code] You've mis-typed something - try again.
  • Nearly there! Type ls (that's "ell ess") and press enter. You'll be presented with a list of all the files in this location. The name is in the far right column, and the size is found between the word group and the date. When you find the file you want, type something like get Spwaw-v501-v52-Update.zip and press enter (change Spwaw-v501-v52-Update.zip for the file you actually want ;)) If this works, you'll see something like this[code] 200 PORT Command successful. 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for Spwaw-v501-v52-Update.zip (9651915 bytes).[/code]
  • It won't display anything else until the file has been downloaded. This may take a long time. Be patient :). When it finishes, you'll see something like[code] 226 Transfer complete. 9651915 bytes received in 2086 secs (4.5 Kbytes/sec) ftp>[/code]
  • Repeat the above get ... commands to get more files.
  • When you're finished, type quit and press enter.[/list] That's all there is to it! Simple huh? ;) Note: if you have an unreliable internet connection that disconnects/drops out regularly, you shouldn't use this method for large files Neill, if after all this you're still having trouble, email me, and I'll burn a cd and mail you the updates (v5.01 to v6.1, no sound update :() [ July 19, 2001: Message edited by: ectizen ]
