Hello, I'm new to the group, but I'll just jump in with both feet.

The first thing to check is that the file you refer to exists on the
ftp site.  In this case, the ftp site appears to be totally empty.  I
can't tell why the image doesn't appear for you.  Is the site you're
pointing at reachable from the web?
