Arrgh!

ok, so I got an account on a machine with access to sumex-aim.stanford.edu,
I ftp to it and log on with anonymous.
I cd to info-mac
the response I get is:
331 Default name accepted. Send Password to connect to it.

What I exclaim? Hmmm well I try a 

quote PASS <anypassword>

and the system says something like huh you are already connected!

When I try to do a get or mget on any file in the info-mac directory
I get permission denied.

WHAT GIVES??? AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG? AM I CD ing to the WRONG DIR?
IS THERE A CERTAIN PASSWORD I NEED TO SPECIFY WHEN CONNECTING?

IS THERE A CONSPIRACY TO PREVENT ME FROM GETTING ANYTHING THAT IS NOT
posted to a notes group?

Or is Stanford just giving me a hard time?

Please mail me an answer before my head explodes!
