Update: FTP Outage and Denial of Service Attack
Topic: Tech News
Hi everyone -
 
My name is Chris, and I'm the general manager for Tripod and Angelfire. As some of you are aware, FTP is currently unavailable. I wanted to explain what's happened, why, and what we're doing next.
 
Tripod was hit by denial of service attack early yesterday morning. Thanks to security measures we have in place, no member accounts were violated, and no Tripod sites were harmed. However, the force of the attack did cause us to take certain parts of Tripod offline, including FTP, which was the main focus of the attack.
 
We've been working through the night, and will continue working today, to restore full service to everyone. Thank you for your patience as we restore service, and for your patronage. 
 
As soon as we have an ETA on restoring full service, we will let you know.
 
Sincerely,
Chris Cummings
General Manager

Annoyiong but not serious.  Thanks for the information.  Just to make you feel good, I checked out SquareSpace and they would not meet my needs even if they had as low a price as yours.  It takes 3 times as long to modify the right hand column as it does to modify my Kompose template's right hand column.

So, I am assuming you still don't have the issue fixed yet, since we are still unable to use the FTP for our business website.

Hello dear hearts :)

Am sorry to hear and see that you are having heavy problems there for everyone's sake.  It is my heartfelt prayer that Papa God helps you solve the problems that present themselves..with His insight and guidance.

Thank you for the great work you always do.  We here so deeply appreciate you and how you keep my ministry site maintained.  God bless you.  We thank you!  Jesus loves you. 

Tomorrow, I'll try again...to update my site.  And, until...??  Hubby and I wish you all a Blessed of our Lord Christmas and good health for a happy new year. Shalom.

Hello again...:)

Question: I saw where we, who are paying customers, could make a phone call to you, yet after looking diligently where directed to get it, I could not find it.  I did find the hours we could call, just not the number.

Could you please help me with this data as soon as possible?  Would much appreciate it and we've been praying for our Lord to help you solve all the problems you are faced with at this time.

Much thanks...Shalom

God's Lamp † :)
