The same VM is used for both download.savannah.gnu.org and audio-video.gnu.org and serves both purposes. Meaning that all of the files on one are visible on the other. As a member using the member access sftp you can see both sets of files. There is no problem with that as all of the files on both views of the systems are all public anyway. You can list the videos from audio-video through download but you can also download all of those same video files through https://audio-video.gnu.org/ too. However you can only upload to directories for which you have permission, your project directories. I don't know why those two systems are convergent. Since they are logically unrelated. Predates my involvement. But I assume at one time it was simply where disk space existed to hold the files and so it was done. In the years since I have re-organized things so that the files are now on separate partitions with the aim that they can be split off onto a separate system at some point. There are advantages to being able to do that and it will probably happen, eventually. Bob
