I got an email notification in September that ftp access was going
anonymous only and things would be restricted in early October.  I guess
we now know how far behind the web team is.  ;)

I had a short conversation with ftp_download_feedback at cisco.com about how
bad of a decision this was, business cases, etc...  A fruitless waste of
time I see.
