OK, it's working today.

For the record, you can't access an ftp site without logging in. If you're using a browser, the browser logs in for you, transparently, and you never know the difference.

That is, if everything works. If it doesn't work, then it fails opaquely, and you don't know why. That's when you log in by hand to see what's going on.

And I didn't say that it was being redirected to a non-Adobe site, I said it was being redirected to a private address. It was probably an Adobe private address, something in their firewall was probably borked and it was leaking private addresses to the outside.
