I am unable to FTP to master.debian.org.  Here is a transcript of my
(brief) session:

callandor:~/build> ftp master.debian.org
Connected to master.debian.org.
220 primer FTP server (Version wu-2.4(7) Fri Mar 8 17:31:18 CST 1996)
ready.
Name (master.debian.org:bcwhite): 
530 User bcwhite access denied...
Login failed.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> 221 Goodbye.
callandor:~/build> 

Am I doing something wrong, or is master broken?

    In theory, theory and practice are the same.  In practice, they're
not.

Same for me, despite several mails with Simon.

So I log onto master, and then start an ftp session on master back to my
box. That works. Oh, and it took me 45 minutes to upload the ~800 kB of f2c
yesterday ...
