Hi All,

I am trying to mirror all available files from the census, TIGER/Line, and LEHD FTP servers. However, I am unsure if I am doing it correctly, or if the FTP servers are still down. I checked far and wide across the internet for help, however, I could not find anything that helped me. At least the HTTP versions of the servers are running and accessible from browsers. However, it is not possible to download them all easily from the browser.

For instance, I am trying to use FileZilla using ftp://ftp2.census.gov/ and user and password as "anonymous" as per a document I found from census website. However, I get the following result.

Status: Resolving address of ftp2.census.gov

Status: Connecting to [2610:20:2010:a09:1000:0:9481:4b23]:21...

Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...

Error: Could not connect to server

Status: Waiting to retry...

Error: Could not connect to server

I also want to mirror the following but none of them are working. Is it something I am doing wrong or is it down for everyone?

PS. I am new-ish to using FTP. I have used it a couple of times in the past, but none had this issue.
