Can't reach the main Slackware directory, login required

Hi, everyone.

The Slackbook reads:

Quote:

The precompiled Slackware kernels are available in the /kernels directory on the Slackware CD-ROM or on the FTP site in the main Slackware directory.

I am unable to reach it, what's the proper login?

Code:

[mike:~]$ ftp ftp.slackware.com
Connected to ftp.slackware.com.
220 207.173.172.131 FTP server ready
Name (ftp.slackware.com:mike): user
331 Password required for user.
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> 221 Goodbye.

Thanks in advance.

M.

Try "anonymous". Having said that, you probably want to use one of the Slackware mirrors.
