Picking up on an item posted (I think) to alt.internet.services, I've tried
to construct a URL for the site ftp.american.edu (there is a "catholic"
directory I want to list in our WIC).  I can ftp to ftp.american.edu 
without difficulty, but neither 
   ftp://ftp.american.edu
nor
   ftp://ftp.american.edu/catholic
nor
   ftp://american.edu

works.  I tried replacing ftp.american.edu with the numerical address, but
no luck.  Can anyone guess what the problem (presumably with that site) is?

Thanks.
