!![[#ftp]] About the LyX FTP-sites
There are two main FTP-sites related to LyX.
* [[(ftp://)ftp.lyx.org]] — For downloading LyX releases etc,
see [[(ftp://)ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx]]
** [[(ftp://)ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/bin]] —
Pre-compiled LyX binaries for different operating systems.
** [[(ftp://)ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib]] —
Packages that are useful in conjunction with LyX. These packages were
contributed by the LyX users and provided "as is".
** [[(ftp://)ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/stable]] —
Source code for the different releases of LyX.
** [[(ftp://)ftp.lyx.org/incoming]] —
Files can be uploaded (but ''not'' downloaded) to this directory
for placement on the ftp-server.
* [[(ftp://)ftp.devel.lyx.org]]
** [[(ftp://)ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/lyx]] —
Snapshots (source and binary) of development versions can be found
here.
** [[(ftp://)ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/incoming]] —
Files can be uploaded (but ''not'' downloaded) to this directory
for placement on the ftp-server.
!!! Uploading files to the FTP-sites
Not even developers do direct uploads to [[(ftp://)ftp.lyx.org]],
only a very small set of people have access to that server.
In order to upload files to any of the FTP-sites, please upload the
files to @@[[(ftp://)ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/incoming]]@@. Then, via the
developers' list (mailto:lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org), contact either
Jean-Marc or Lars and ask them to move the files to their proper location.
Please note that the directory
@@[[(ftp://)ftp.devel.lyx.org/pub/incoming]]@@ is ''write only'', so files
uploaded to that directory cannot be downloaded from that directory.
!!! Getting files to developers for them to place on the FTP-sites
In order to get a file to someone with access to the correct FTP-site,
you can use a service such as [[(http://)www.yousendit.com]].
