    Hello,

    i will open a FTP server dedicated to developers on MorphOS.

    There will be some drawers with source code in different language (C, Hollywood, Lua, Python, E, etc.), port to test, betatest, ask help, etc.
    Thanks to add a readme to your archives to contact you.

    The files will be in read only mode.

    The goal is to have an active developement on MorphOS :-)

    If you are interested and/or if you want share your sourcecode don't hesitate to contact me on papiosaur2 at hotmail.fr

    I could create an new login/mdp for each new contact.

    Hm, but why should people share source code by ftp?
    Why not just use git(hub)?

    i propose just a service, if developers want to share on github, no problem with that of course.

    The goal is to have a dedicated server for developers (share beta for example) or guys want to begin to develop on MorphOS (tutorial, etc...), ask a problem to solve, etc.

    Create a active community of developers around a FTP server.

    As light-weight the FTP protocol is to transfer files, it's unfortunate that modern browsers have dropped support for it. So I'm a bit afraid that it feels clumsy nowadays to have to launch a separate program to see the material when discussing elsewhere. OK, I still do it with some private projects where the interest is mutual, but if you want public help for your projects... Maybe you should also make a web front-end to the service too if not using existing solutions?

    Sorry, but don't think that we have a lack of services to share and discuss code.
    It's more a lack of developers. Ftp is all cases the wrong service to do what you want.

    I dont see how fast FTP can be of any wrong. Aminet is that plus GUI.
