The Repository directory has to be specified for the Install Manager in the SWORD Project for Windows, which uses FTP access. Likewise for the other front-ends based on the SWORD API.
The Catalog & ZIP directories have to be specified for the JSword based installer (e.g. as used for Bible Desktop), which uses HTTP access.
The 'Site Name' field is just a convenient name for managing/selecting repositories. Users may edit these without any loss of functionality, as long as they ensure that each is uniquely and appropriately named.
CrossWire maintains a Master Repositories List (filename: masterRepoList.conf) which is accessed by most front-end applications. Some front-ends require a refresh operation to ensure that the latest edition of the MRL is installed. The MRL includes some but not all of CrossWire repositories and some of the Affiliated repositories.
Some front-end apps (e.g. PocketSword) permit the manual addition of an FTP source though the Download UI.
Some front-end apps (e.g. Xiphos) also permit the manual addition of an HTTP source via the Module Manager UI.

Modules for Beta testing
This is included in the Master Repositories List. Please test these modules and report your findings by email to modules@crosswire.org - Beta modules should be validated before being transferred to the main CrossWire repository.
Site Name: CrossWire Beta Site Machine Name: ftp.crosswire.org Repository Directory: /pub/sword/betaraw
Catalog Directory: /ftpmirror/pub/sword/betaraw ZIP Directory: /ftpmirror/pub/sword/betapackages/rawzip
CrossWire Wycliffe

Site Name: CrossWire Wycliffe Site Machine Name: ftp.crosswire.org Repository Directory: /pub/sword/wyclifferaw
Note:
- Many of these translations are now available online at Bible Search hosted by the American Bible Society.
Experimental modules
These experimental modules are primarily intended for front-end developers. They require new features not supported by some front-end applications. This repository is not included in the Master Repositories List.
Site Name: CrossWire Experimental Site Machine Name: ftp.crosswire.org Repository Directory: /pub/sword/experimentalraw
Included in this repository are a number of empty test modules - one for each Alternate Versification.
Lockman Foundation
We have at last been granted permission to distribute these 3 modules from the Lockman Foundation:
- New American Standard Bible (NASB)
- Nueva Biblia de las Américas (NBLA)
- La Biblia de las Américas (LBLA)
Additionally, a gracious gift from Lockman, they have granted permission for CrossWire to distribute all 3 of these modules unlocked, for free.
The MRL has been updated to add a repository for the Lockman Foundation modules hosted on the CrossWire server.
Site Name: Lockman Foundation Site Machine Name: ftp.crosswire.org Repository Directory: /pub/sword/lockmanraw
Catalog Directory: /ftpmirror/pub/sword/lockmanraw ZIP Directory: /ftpmirror/pub/sword/lockmanpackages
Affiliated Repositories
Other Bible agencies
Any bona fide Bible agency may set up and maintain their own modules repository. Providing the agency adheres to orthodox Christian doctrine (i.e. not a cult!), a request for such a repository to be added to the Master Repostories List will be seriously considered by CrossWire.

STEP Bible
The Tyndale House STEPBible Data Repository hosts data created for STEPBible.org originated by Tyndale House Cambridge with a CC BY 4.0 license.
One of the datasets hosted is Bible modules for OSIS Sword software Bibles in the same format as CrossWire modules which can be used in any SWORD-compatible software. Currently, this only contains a small number of modules, but is set to grow in future. In February 2021, a proper SWORD repository has been set up. This is now included in the CrossWire MRL.[1]
Site Name: STEP Bible Site Machine Name: ftp.stepbible.org Repository Directory: /pub/sword
Catalog Directory: /pub/sword ZIP Directory: /pub/sword/zip
The STEP Bible app is built using a fork of the JSword API.
AndBible Extra
The AndBible Extra repository contains the free modules from the Xiphos repository. [2]
Note:
- ↑ It was added in March 2024.
- ↑ The Xiphos repository was incompatible with AndBible (it's FTP only but AB is HTTPS only) so this was made to serve those modules to AndBible users.
