   An FTP site ftp.apple.com is there and it lets me in to its root

You can't get into any directory at ftp.apple.com that doesn't have
"others" execute permission.  This is shown by an "x" in the last
position of the permissions entry.  For example:

drwx------  6 mjohnson archivis      512 Aug 24  1990 dts
         ^
You can't get into dts.

drwxr-xr-x  2 blob     archivis      512 Feb 26 14:49 cd-rom
drwxr-xr-x  6 blob     archivis      512 Oct 22 20:20 nerdtools
         ^
You can get into cd-rom and nerdtools.
