Some services have been restored to CWS web hosting. These services
include ssh and sftp and write access for most applications like
Drupal. Regular FTP access remains disabled. For access to sftp, you
will need an appropriate client, which can be found from the following
page: http://oregonstate.edu/cws/hosting/getting-access-your-site

For access off campus, please also use the VPN client. Link for VPN
connections can be found from the above site as well or alternatively
visit: http://oregonstate.edu/net/security/vpn/

Capability for CGI is disabled at this point for continued security
reasons. This will affect CGI operations as well as such things that
use virtual includes (html). This might affect sites using the old
Template Builder. The solution is to use php includes. Any questions
concerning this, please contact us. If you encounter issues with your
site not being able to update information, please contact us.

Regarding sites being designated as containing malware, many sites
will still show up as being malware until the services that browsers
use to detect malware sites rescan and update oregonstate.edu sites.

Central Web Services is continuing to make changes as we detect issues
and there may be fluctuations in service as we look to restore the
environment to a healthy status.

Thank You,
