The FTP is known to be down, and we don't expect it to come back. This is all still hosted by CMU at the moment, even though they've pulled out of the project.
Our real plan has been to move the cyrusimap.org domain away from the CMU infrastructure and onto github.io (which doesn't provide FTP anyway), and then update all the documentation accordingly at once. (The temporary URL for the github.io site is https://cyrusimap.github.io, but once we have the real domain, we'll use that for it instead.) Getting action out of CMU is like pulling teeth though, so maybe we should just remove the dead FTP links from documentation in the meantime. I've been referring people to the github-hosted url's (i.e. under https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-imapd/releases) in the release announcement emails, because I don't expect the "https://cyrusimap.org/releases"; links to remain valid either, once the domain moves to githhub.io.
