Er - that site appears to be a wide-open anonymous FTP server.

However, the incoming directory appears to be protected from writing - at 
least when I tried to upload a small test file.

Maybe you need to actually login as a user rather than annon. ?

Ah, read your next email - try this:

  ftp://user:password@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

where user and password are filled in appropriately.

Or use a command-line FTP program.
