Sorry, I don't know the reason for this. But there is another way how
the files there can be accessed -> email.

Here is a short "how to do" :


Our anonymous FTP-archive is accessible via electronic mail.

Send commands (see below) in the mail body to the following address:

	ftp-mailer@ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de

Commands can be given in either upper or lower case and you may specify
more than one command.


HELP
	send a help file (what you currently read)

PATH a_valid_RFC822_return_address
	The default email address to which replies are sent, is
	taken from the "Reply-To:" field in the mail header.
	If there is no such field the "From:" field is used.
	You can override these two defaults by adding the PATH
	command to your mail; e.g.

		PATH your!email!address
		PATH your@email.address

INDEX
	Get an index of our archive, i.e. a recursive directory
	listing.  This is currently about 600 KB large, and will
	give 13 mails of 1000 lines to be sent.

GET INDEX
	Same as INDEX.

GET <file>
	Get <file> from the archive where <file> is a relative
	or absolute path within our archive-tree. <file> will
	always be interpreted as a plain file and not as a directory!
	To get all files in a directory you can use wildcards
	as in the third example below, but please be careful using
	them as you will get ALL matching files.

	Examples:
		GET /pub/news/comp.sources.unix/1/slice..v13i073.Z
		GET net/net-tools/netdig.3.5.shar.Z
		GET pub/news/alt.sources/psutils/*
		GET pub/X11/contrib/*/*/*.desc

	The mail server will uuencode files and send them in
	1000 line chunks.  The actual sending of the uuencoded files
	will be delayed until non-buisness hours.  A notification that
	your request arrived here and what will be sent back to you
	is sent out immediately.

EXIT
QUIT
END
	Stop further processing of the mail body; useful if your
	mailer automically appends a signature to your mail.


Send comments, suggestions, complaints and donations to
	
	ftp-owner@ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de


Good Luck!
