I agree with Henrik. > I used to use ftp all the time to access the RFCs but then it stopped working about two months ago and messages on this list, from others as well as me, and to the relevant e-mail address have had no effect.

It is a technology that has proved its worth and even if and when son of http comes along and provides us with a different way of access, ftp will still have a role.
