this site does not work like a regular anon ftp site. instead, it
works like an authenticated ftp site with a user called
"anonymous at randomrodder.com", and that user has a blank password.

so, you must use user = "anonymous at randomrodder.com"
and password = nothing, blank, just hit enter, etc

then it should work
