[EMBOSS] accessing emboss ftp site

[Chris Dagdigian]

In the last few months the open-bio.org servers switched datacenters, IP 
addresses and firewall/IDS appliances. Lots of juicy things to look at 
and debug.

Koen - if you have a chance can you send me the IP address that you are 
using to connect from? I might be able to find some relevant log entries 
with that info.
