Ok, here is what everybody (including me) forgets. The permissions
are set really confusing. There are 2 kinds of anonymous login. If
you log in the standard way, the only thing that you see is the pub
directory. If you put eagle down as a password though, you will
magically see the apo directories also. I will be changing some stuff
soon, but at least for now the password is still eagle (I'll post
again if I change it to something like oak or sturdy_oak etc.)
