OK. You are exactly right. Apple.Com works fine.
For whatever reason there are two ways to log on to Apple.com via FTP.
One is FTP.APPLE.COM and the other is simply APPLE.COM.  When you log on with
the FTP you find that little is available whereas when you use just APPLE.COM
everything is available.
I do not even pretend to understand why this is, it just is.
