If we move up one level where the file is supposed to be, we can't see anything; directory is forbidden.  If I do a cd ..\ECOKITS (or equivalent in filezilla)   then I'm in the directory with the master list.  Its just not visible if you don't know its there.

It can't really be considered as retired if it is still accepting
service contract account logins and serving up files to customers.

Deprecated maybe, but not retired.

If they really have retired the server, I would expect them to have
switched it off so customers are forced into using the current method.
