FTP, being one of the oldest methods of filesharing still in active duty, continues to be the preferred protocol for sceners, fillers and couriers providing & sharing the freshest 0day/0sec warez. With private BitTorrent, one must worry about maintaining a good sharing ratio. Usenet costs extra money for premium quality access and retention. eMule employs annoying wait times; even RapidShare downloads are queued & limited for free users. But none of this applies to FTP - it’s a leecher’s paradise.
But what is difficult for aspiring FTP users is to find available, working FTP sites to connect to. That is, until now. Here’s a list of FTP sites that are currently open (at the time of post), including an excellent 0day site, seen here:
FTP Tips: Connecting to FTP Sites
We recommend you use either an external FTP program, such as FileZilla (it’s free), or use FireFTP - an addon for Firefox (much easier). The links below are optimized for FireFTP, although most anonymous-access FTPs will work just by directly clicking on them in any browser (without the need for any FTP program). Although this rudimentary direct method will work, browsing FTP sites through an FTP program (or the addon) is vastly superior.
NOTE: The FTPs that require a username/password login combo to access will likely not be able to connect from direct clicking, and will require either an FTP program, or FireFTP. Sites with a login combination are shown as - ftp://xxxxx:xxxxx@127.127.127.127:21 - where the x’s (separated by a colon) represent the username & password, respectively. The last number after the last colon (if applicable) is the port number. To launch these FTP hotlinks in FireFTP, right click the FTP URL and select "Open Link in FireFTP".
If a particular FTP allows for anonymous access, it should simply connect as-is (such as in the example above). If it requires a login, FireFTP should automatically enter the supplied username & password into the connect window; all you need to do is connect.
General (Multi Warez) FTP Sites:
ftp://peruvianfinest03@aol.com:premiumbetterthanthis@208.116.3.137:21 — This one’s a hot pubstro, get in while you can - the password will soon change (again).
ftp://81.95.186.234/download/ — Great FTP for everything, with 100’s of GBs! Check out the /music/ directory, there’s over 650 artists & bands listed alphabetically - each with subdirectories for albums. The /Soft/ directory contains a huge array of apps for 3D graphics, CAD/CAM and just about anything else. Browse around, it’s amazing!
ftp://cd-video.ru/ — Good Russian FTP with a little of everything: including music (A to Z with subcategories for artists); movies (mostly Russian, lots of DVDRs - directories are "Films01" to "Films16"); eBooks & audiobooks.
ftp://movies:movies@24.199.10.7:21/ —100+ movies, mostly recent DVDRips.
ftp://ftp.uglan.ck.ua/ — Mostly Russian games and stuff.
ftp://194.187.207.98/ — Not much, browse around.
ftp://159.153.197.74/pub — Mostly crap, check if you want.
Music FTP Sites:
Many of these sites are Radio Station FTPs, and other dumpsites.
ftp://68.111.167.254/disk1/share/OUG/Music/ — Just a staggering amount of music, be sure to also check out the /OUG/trashbox/Music/ directory, and /OUG/Phil Itunes Music/iPodMusicLiberator/Music/ - as well.
ftp://clubmusic:clubmusic@217.172.16.3:8778/ — Amazing FTP board for house, trance, techno, electonic music mp3s. Music is arranged into sub-cats by genre, each with VA Artists & Mixes.
ftp://psy:psy@ftp.cybersky.ru — Tons of music; mostly house, trance, etc.
ftp://mp3:mp3@ftp.empecz.org/ — Log/pass is mp3 for both. After logging in, a popup may ask you for another username etc. - just click cancel. Just an insane amount of music here.
http://209.142.155.49:8080/music/ — Not an FTP site, but worth including anyways. Nearly 900 different artists are listed, most of the music files are in *.ogg format.
ftp://195.113.144.229/MultiMedia/Music/midi/mirror.filecity/ — Nearly 300 different artists; all files are midi (*.mid) files.
ftp://193.43.36.131/Radio/MP3/ — Very odd stuff here. Not good stuff, but odd.
Software - Apps & Games FTPs
ftp://leech:l33ch@61.145.123.141:5632/ — Another ’stro, has about 50 older game ISOs.
ftp://ftp.freenet.de/pub/filepilot/ — Over 100,000 software titles, some of the stuff is interesting.
