[CONDUIT #DMK-987645]: no ftp to motherlode

FTP access to motherlode was turned off at the beginning of September for a
variety of reasons including an undue amount of log messages to have to deal 
with.
The decision was not considered to be a major removal of service since all of
the data that was available via FTP is still available via http (as you note)
and through THREDDS catalogs.

The support-conduit address was a bit off from what we would have liked, but OK
nonetheless.  A better address to use in the future would be address@hidden.

> Thanks for your help,

No worries.  Sorry for the problems that turning off FTP have caused you.

Please let us know if the http and/or THREDDS access to the data is workable 
for you.

Cheers,

Tom
