−	~~There is~~ a ~~need for a "~~download ~~server"~~ for ~~OSGeo that provides~~ for ~~bulk downloads~~ of ~~software~~.	+	The OSGeo Download Server runs in a container of [[osgeo7]] host, see [[Download-Container]]
		+
		+
		+	Houses the following sites:
		+
		+	- https://upload.osgeo.org
		+	- https://bottle.download.osgeo.org
		+
		+	The https://download.osgeo.org site goes thru [[osgeo8]] and [[osgeo9]], but data is pulled from this container
		+
		+	* It is also the official hop container for osgeo7. Accessible via ssh hop.osgeo7.osgeo.org
		+	* <del>It has webdav with single local htaccess account geotools for geotools bot use.</del>
		+
		+	In order to be able to log in or sftp
		+
		+	* You must be a member of the OSGeo shell group which can be granted from another person in shell group - [https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/shell Shell]
		+	* Once you are in shell group, go to https://id.osgeo.org/ldap/edit and put in your public key.
		+
		+	You should then be able to log into download (and all other hop servers on the other hosts) with your private key.
		+
		+	You can put in a [https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/newticket ticket] to request such access.

 The /osgeo/download area is exported for anonymous rsync read access as a module named "download".  The following can be used to pull a local copy of the gdal data tree for instance:
-  rsync -av download.osgeo.org::download/gdal/data .
+  rsync -av upload.osgeo.org::download/gdal/data .
 This is controlled by the rsync configuration file at /etc/rsyncd.conf.  It is possible that rsyncd will not automatically restart on reboot in which case "rsyncd --daemon" as root may be necessary to start it.
