I did that. Unfortunately I cannot put https (which would not make much 
of a difference anyway) because, like for our list, this is just a DNS 
entry for a site (ftp.lip6.fr) which is not ours. I do not think we can 
do something about it).

Shall I remove them? We could get rid of all ftp references.
