This is the distorted.org.uk FTP server.

Protocols

	The archive can be accessed through a number of protocols.

	  * HTTPS (recommended):	https://ftp.distorted.org.uk/

	    The server advertises HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security):
	    web browsers will remember this and automatically upgrade to
	    HTTPS in the future.  Usually this is a good thing.

	    Note that Firefox at least will `upgrade' plain FTP to
	    HTTPS, which may not be desirable.

	  * Plain HTTP:			http://ftp.distorted.org.uk/

	    The URLs are the same, but no security is provided.  The
	    server does /not/ redirect to HTTPS for the sake of simple
	    clients which can't handle modern TLS.
	    
	  * FTP:			ftp://ftp.distorted.org.uk/

	    Good old-fashioned anonymous FTP.  The server understands
	    the `AUTH TLS' commad to upgrade to TLS, though most clients
	    don't do this.  Both active and passive modes are supported,
	    though passive is strongly recommended.

	  * FTPS:			ftps://ftp.distorted.org.uk/

	    Anonymous FTP with implicit TLS, on a separate port.  The
	    more modern `explicit TLS' is recommended where available.

	  * Rsync:			rsync://ftp.distorted.org.uk/ftp/
					ftp.distorted.org.uk::ftp/

	    Alas, rsync has no capability for running over TLS.  The
	    `ftp' rsync module covers the entire archive; `pub' and `u'
	    modules are also provided, so the trailing `ftp/' is
	    effectively optional.
