I assume this is WRT ftp.iastate.edu as a current mirror:
Not at the moment, unfortunately. We'd like to, but currently can't.
Our ftp machine serves all its data off an AFS volume, and AFS doesn't
preseve the UFS permissions properly when sup uploading/downloading.
So a sup scan doesn't get the right information.
If we are able to get a local drive added to the machine sometime that
can handle the space requirements, we'll open up sup. Until then,
we'll simply have to provide just ftp access.
