    Currently the FTP for computercraft is not working(Cannot get directory contents). I was wondering when this will be fixed. Also can we have the http api enabled? I have a project idea that would benefit greatly from that api.

    This has been brought up many times before, however it has continued to be disabled for security reasons.

    The HTTP API has always been disabled because sk is worried the server's IP might get blacklisted if it gets misused. FTP will be up whenever sk has time to fix it (and he's pretty busy atm).

    You don't know how many times I've suggested a simple solution to that...

    To the OP, if you're looking for a server to do ComputerCraft, this isn't the ideal server for it.

    You haven't suggested a simple solution yet. Just mostly complaining.

    I'm going to see if I can add the HTTP API today. Most of the code for the proxy has been written long ago.

    You don't remember me suggesting a URL whitelist that can easily be implemented into a the bios file?

    That is not a simple solution -- the whitelist would have to continually be updated.

    Nor does it solve the problem, because the issue isn't the range of URLs but the frequency of certain URLs.

    Is there FTP access to the computers?
