Guten Tag, mein Herr Professor!

In this situation, I would get your tech support in. You may not know of an internal config change, or something of that nature.

Subject: [MiKTeX] wrong port number for FTP ??

Sorry: this is definitely not a MikTeX problem, but I don't whom else to ask: I am in vain trying to contact an FTP internet server (icking-music.archive.org) This has worked comfortably before ...
I am using WinSCP . By default is gives me port number 22, but with that WinSCP says "searching for host" , and no answer.
If I change to Port number 21, it at least says:
      " searching for host
        connecting to host ", and THEN gives up.

So do I use the wrong port number ? Or do something else  dumb ?
I am no expert on this. Can anybody help ?

PS: The same WinSCP works perfectly for
     "www.itp.uni-bremen.de" ...
