I am looking for the ftp server where I can ftp in and
grab the sources and ports for 4.7 release in the same
way you can with current by going to 

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/src/

and

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/

After all, all cvsup, or cvs, or CTM does is go and
updates your /usr/ports and /usr/src folder, and maybe
your doc folder, doesn't it? In other words I am
currently not interested in using cvsup, or CTM, or
anything else. I am only interested in using ftp.

Wayne
