Pacman : ftp login [auto-solved]

Hi, -sorry for my bad english !-
I am trying to setup an archlinux repository in a local network. I have synchronised my local repo with archlinux.org's one using rsync as written in the Wiki, an it works fine  :shock:

I installed proftpd to host my repo, and I would like people to connect to it using a username and a password. I tried to write in pacman.conf :

Server = ftp://username:passwd@path/to/repository

But pacman says

:: Synchronizing package databases... 
error: anonymous login failed

... Is it possible to use a login & passwd with pacman ? Another solution would be to allow anonymous connections. Are there ftp daemons for that?
Thanks,

EDIT : uncommented the line

XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u

in pacman.conf and it works.
