A bit tricky I think, the ftp site requests for a supplied password:

220- I2O Sig Temporary Download Directory
220- Log in as "i2o" with a password supplied by Michael Lobue.
220- You are currently user 10 out of a maximum 10 users.

A claim that the anonymous ftp is a configuration error could be valid I think.
If so the stuff still is a trade secret.
It is however an example of a document that should be free. I think it should
be distributed together with a sample implementation, eg. Linux.
