[news.eclipse.technology.ecf] Re: access p2 via ftp repository

[Laurent Marchal <lmarchal@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The good newsgroup for questions about p2 is eclipse.technology.equinox, 
you should post there.

I am not 100% sure of this answer, but p2 handles URLs and should work 
with ftp servers. I don't know if p2 handle asking the authentication.
