The same mistaken claim has been made in social media posts for so long now, that we are gradually starting to see the emergence of fact-check type pages on the topic. [1]
Not that they're overly informative, mind. The linked 'file' folder is part of WikiLeaks FTP mirror. If one goes up a folder (by clicking ../), one will find a helpful and informative document, entitled HOW-TO-MIRROR.txt
The files here are exactly the same as those served from the front end, via the main WikiLeaks site. Without the convenience of search, nor any accompanying articles for context.
They're not some secret dump of new or previously unreleased documents containing leaks. The folks with the unreleased documents won't be keeping them on a public FTP server.
