When attempting to connect :

OpenSSH_7.8p1, OpenSSL 1.1.0i-fips  14 Aug 2018

ssh: connect to host dev.eclipse.org port 22: Connection timed out

Is there some block in place ?

The timeout certainly implies a block.  If you login to https://accounts.eclipse.org it should pop a warning if the IP you logged in from is blocked.  If so, and you need it unblocked just send your IP to Webmaster and we'll look into it.

Just so you know we haven't supported ssh access to dev for a couple of years, and the limited access available via build is being phased out.

-M.

I tried logging back into accounts.eclipse.org but I don't see any popup (no ad-block used) regarding my IP being blocked. I even tried from another laptop on the same network.

I mainly used the existing ssh support to use some basic file operations on download.eclipse.org. I know that maintainers are encouraged to automate such work through the JIPPs but for basic things like moving certain files / modifying certain pages is there a recommended way to continue doing this ?

The issue seems to be resolved and I can authenticate over ssh. Feel free to close.

As you note automation via a JIPP is our recommended option.
