AmiUpdate (ftp) Logon Request

Post by Raziel »

With todays "dos.library" 53.152 update AU is giving me a logon request for "ftp.hyperion-entertainment.biz".

EDIT:
It is the MUI update thats causing the problem
07:59:27 Starting update of 'MUI-4.0-os4-20140202-svn3184.lha.pgp'

07:59:27 Starting password protected FTP transfer...

07:59:27 Prompting user for login details...

08:14:54 Login cancelled

08:14:54 No logon details supplied, updating aborted
I don't have pgp installed, maybe that's the problem?
While i might easily be able to get the update with my Hyperion logon details (haven't tried yet), i'm wondering why AU is asking?
I have a "SiteList" file with exactly that details on SYS: and i know every other update got the information from there.

Has this behaviour to do with the server error (500) discussed here?

And while i'm at it,i would like to ask if AU could encrypt this SiteList file in a future version?
Not that someone else has access to the miggy, i'm just not feeling very well with my login details saved as readable text.

Thanks

Hello Raziel,

A mistake has been done somewhere in the amiupdate entry database, you shouldn't have to access to this FTP to update your MUI.

Regards,
Xavier.

Me as well. What username and password we have to enter? The one I got to login to A-EON's website doesn't seem to work.

Experiencing the same problem here myself, but still i tried to send an email to Hyperion Entertainment that i am no longer using my old Broadpark email address for my HKvalhe account. I'm now using the Online.no email address.

I hope this can be fixed. I couldn't access to the updates even by typing in the right username and password. Certainly a mistake in this database entry for AmiUpdate.

Perhaps we should ignore these two updates for now, and hopefully they will appear again little later in the right way?

Ignore that. There has been some internal miscommunication with the new AmiUpdate admins.

There is a good reason why everyone is not allowed to update an AmiUpdate database... :mrgreen:

Thanks for the information :) Will ignore the update asking for the login to the ftp.hyperion-entertainment.biz for now. I hope the misunderstanding in the admins will be addressed :)

PS: The other update was updated normally. Only this login update has to be ignored, like you say.

Correct, as the first MUI updated was updated as normal, while the 3rd party MUI class updated required login. This last one had to be ignored, as Solie stated.
