Hi:

As of 12/13/16, I have installed a second 100 Mbs Internet line and a second server.  This allows me to increase the number of allowed users by about 30% and increases the bandwidth by 100%.  This cost $90.00 a month for a total of $180.00 a month for my Internet connections.  That is all I can afford.  I would appreciate donations but as before there will be no cost for any of the material.

Later today I will publish the following rolls:

T-78 R-143
T-78 R-144
T-78 R-145

John

Hi:

I have just added 30 pdf files in a new section titled "German Army Intelligence".  This is good primary data although it has been translated into English.  Much of the data includes lists of names and charts so it is not too bad.

I discovered the cause of my recent server problems.  I added a new electric cable and placed it close and parallel to the ethernet cable running to the server.  I should have known better.  :(

Regards,

John

Hi:

My FTP server went down sometime on Tuesday the 22nd.  Something went wrong with the internal IP address.  I was not home until today (26-Dec-16) so the server was down for some time.  It is now up.  Sorry for the problems.

Regards,

John

Hi:

Hi:

I have rebuilt my web site www.wwii-photos-maps.com. The site should be much faster to open and easier to navigate.  Some of the material has been moved to my FTP server which I think will be a better place for access.  If there are any problems please let me know at jcarlcalvin@gmail.com.

John

Hi:

I think this is a good time to provide a current status of my FTP service.  My Internet is a 100MB commercial Charter connection which uses their managed modem.  I have purchased a new Asus wireless/router which supports dual WAN connections and both 2.6ghz and 5ghz wireless connections.  The first server (jccalvin.ddns.net) is a new Dell computer with a Quad processor and 12 GB of RAM.  The second server (jccalvin-2.ddns.net) is a Toshiba laptop with dual core CPU and 3GB of RAM. 

Server jccalvin.ddns.net will allow 25 connections with a max of 2 conncurent connetions per IP address.  Server jccalvin-2.ddns.net will allow 15 connections with a max of 2 conncurrent connections per IP address.  Each server will have one user ID which is FTP-User-1.  The password will be the same for both servers (SKNVr8du).  The number of allowed users will be adjusted depending on how well the servers are handling the load.  User ID FTP-User-2 and server name jccalvinfw.ddns.net will be eliminated later today.



Server One:
HostID:  jccalvin.ddns.net
UserID:  FTP-User-1
Password:  SKNVr8du
Port Number: 21
Simple FTP

Server Two:
HostID:  jccalvin-2.ddns.net
UserID:  FTP-User-1
Password:  SKNVr8du
Port Number: 21
Simple FTP

John

Hi:

There are still too many people logged in so I am delaying the firewall install until tomorrow morning.  That is U.S. Eastern Standard Time.

Regards,

John

Hi:

Today the primary FTP server (jccalvin.ddns.net) will go down and remain down until a new firewall is up and running, hopefully not more than a few hours.  The backup FTP server (jccalvin-2.ddns.net) will go down for a short period of time until the cable modem is back up, hopefully not more than 5 or 10 minutes.

Any of you currently logged in to jccalvin.ddns.net should log out and login to jccalvin-2.ddns.net.  I am hoping that the new firewall will be more stable than the last one.  That is not a criticism of Ipfire but just my recent experiences.

Regards,

John

Hi:

Three weeks ago I installed an upgrade to my IPFire firewall.  This runs on a dedicated Linux computer.  It turns out that my IPS system "Guardian" is not compatible with the upgrade. I have spent two weeks trying to correct the problem, without success. Two days ago I build another FTP server and have been using that in addition to the old one. 

Tomorrow I am installing a new commercial firewall/router Asus AC-3100 at a cost of $300.00.  When I am finished I will have a new FTP server and a backup server.  I am doing the best I can to correct the problem and to make it much less likely that it will occur again.

Regards,

John

Hi:

As I am sure many of you know I have been having serious problems with users not being able to login.  I have been trouble shooting for more than a week without success.  I think I have come up with a temporary fix.  The following is the login that works for some of the people.

Host: jccalvin.ddns.net
Login ID: FTP-User-1 or FTP-User-2
Password: SKNVr8du
Protocol: Plain FTP
Port: 21
Passive FTP
No TLS over FTP

You can now use an alternative Host name:  jccalvin-2.ddns.net.  The other login info is the same.

I apologize for the problems and I am continuing working on a permanent resolution.

Regards,

John

Hi:

Regarding the previous message.  FTP-User-2 can actually be used anytime you want.  It is just another login ID.

Regards,

John

Hi:

I have added a second login to my FTP server.  If you see a message that says the max connections for FTP-User-1 has been reached try the following login.  Everything is the same except for the login ID which is FTP-User-2.

Host:  jccalvin.ddns.net
Login ID:  FTP-User-1 or FTP-User-2
Password:  SKNVr8du
Protocol:  Plain FTP
Port:  21
Passive FTP
No TLS over FTP

Hi:

I have increased the data transfer by increasing my Internet connection from 60 Mb to 100 Mb. Between this and adding QOS (Quality of Service) the data transfer rate should be improved by about 60%. The individual data transfer rate still depends on the number of people logged on to the server. The cost is not trivial but it really needed to be done. I hope this helps.

Regards,

John

Hi:

I published the following rolls today.

T-78 R-619  Gen.Insp.d.Pz.Truppen
T-175 R-70  Pers.St.RFSS
T-312 R-1203  AOK 2
T-501 R-89  Korueck 559,590 u. 593

On next Tuesday I am scheduled for an upgrade to my Internet connection.  It will be upgraded from 60 Mb to 100 Mb.  It should help in reducing the download time.

Regards,

John

Hi:

Today I published T-313 R-369. 

Please check the "max connections" setting in your FTP software.  The default is usually 2.  Please set it for 1.  Besides being a problem for my logs it also blocks others who are trying to login.  Thank you for your consideration.

Regards,

John

Hi:

Today I published 698 Russian maps in scale 1:84000 on my FTP server.  The maps are in the Miscellaneous or Diverse maps section.  I have Russian maps in the scales of 1:25000, 1:50000, and 1:100000 on my web site www.wwii-photos-maps.com.  Hopefully these 1:84000 maps will cover some areas missed in the other maps.

Regards,

John
