depends, are you trying to do anonymous ftp - if so you need to set up
anonymous ftp on that machine so that it can read your redhat tree.
Depending on what kind of machine it is, the anonymous ftp setup varies --
if it's linux you need to duplicate /home/ftp around the redhat tree (or
mount the redhat tree under /home/ftp/pub/redhat.
Once done, you chop off the /home/ftp directory to specify to the
installer.
