Heh.  That FTP url is a completely standard, RFC compliant thing.  it logs
into the account ftppub with a password of ftpmarc, on the machine at
213.215.151.204.  If your stripping the account and pw worked, then
they likely got rid of the password scheme for FTP (which only makes
sense--why are they trying to protect public data?).

But it is a valid URL.  There are even worse examples of URLs which I
won't go into here. ;-)
