Bug #14842: [ANN] ftp service is sunset in Jun 2018.

Unfortunately, We decided to shut down FTP service of ftp.ruby-lang.org. Because operating system of ftp.ruby-lang.org is EOL status soon. We need to migrate it with following steps.

1. We will change ftp.ruby-lang.org to CDN provided by fastly. It's the end of FTP service. But we can use ftp.ruby-lang.org with http/https.
2. We will change the origin of ftp.ruby-lang.org and cache.ruby-lang.org to S3 buckets from the current dedicated server.

I start 1. at this or next week. After that, I will announce it on this issue.

Just for clarification purpose - old URLs such as:

ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.5/ruby-2.5.1.tar.xz

would be available at:

https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.5/ruby-2.5.1.tar.gz

I am just asking so that I can update all old URLs that I have
towards non-ftp then. Perhaps other people may also have or
use old ftp:// entries.

Yes. Please use https:// instead of ftp://.

Hi all.

I changed DNS entry of ftp.ruby-lang.org to CDN from our dedicated server.
And I also changed origin server of CDN to S3 from our dedicated server.

Please ask me if you have any issues. Thanks.
