Difficulty loading a new asteroid

Following the tutorial suggestions on "How to retrieve a New Asteroid's Ephemeris file" I am blocked when trying to get an ftp connection to astro.com. (using Interarchy) It requires username and password and my password for that site will not satisfy the requirement for ftp connection. I get a repeating dialog box requesting FTP Password again and again.
Any help would be appreciated
thanks

only that interarchy shows two more entry fields does not necessarily mean that they should be filled out. just leave them empty 8)
((at least this is what i have been doing the last few years... ))
for convenience you can also click on this link here
ftp://ftp.astro.com/pub/swisseph/ephemeris_files/
that you need not use a username/password does not allow you to use a wrong username/password combination, though

Thanks so much for that! I was able to download just the 2 asteroids I needed with no difficulty.
Once again, keeping it simple is the answer.
