The Canonical IS team will be decommissioning the SFTP server, people.ubuntu.com, as part of a comprehensive infrastructure modernization and migration project.
Service Overview
people.ubuntu.com has historically provided dedicated, web accessible file storage space for official Ubuntu Members.
Required Action
If you previously utilized the people.ubuntu.com SFTP server and stored content within its directory, you will need to download and migrate all relevant data to an alternative storage location. Following the decommission date, all data remaining on the server will be permanently erased. Failure to migrate your data will result in permanent data loss.
