Sorry, it doesn't work like that here, the EPICS repository at APS is not 
directly accessible from the internet even if you have a Base download 
password.  Read-only access might be possible using pserver, but we don't 
have that set up and we're not currently planning to either.

External EPICS developers have to have a login account and come in through 
ssh, and for various reasons we don't give such accounts out very often 
(and since 2001/9/11 it's even harder to do).

Sorry.  What are you trying to get to?  I might be able to provide some 
help if you're just wanting to browse files that are not in base.

- Andrew
