It turns out that the FTP area of the official MicroProse website has been archived by the Wayback Machine:
http://web.archive.org/web/199802220735 ... e.com/ftp/

Not files are accessible though, but hopefully it's going to be fixed sometime.

I've tried to find the files from the FTP's demos folder by searching cd.textfiles.com (since patches andpther stuff are more or less preserved by GameFront and other sources), here's what I found so far:
1942paw.zip
airdemo.zip
atdemo.zip
atrdemo.zip
atrvesa.zip
b17demo.zip
blooddem.zip
civdem.zip
coldemo.zip
dsdemo.zip

moodemo.zip
momdemo.zip [rename manually]
mpsdemo3.zip
mpsf14.zip
mspdemo.zip [original name unknown]
rexneb.zip
task.zip [rename manually]
tfdemo.zip

More stuff:
kots1.zip
mtii.zip
phandemo.zip
wcdemo.zip

BTW, here's a list of MPS FTP contents from 1993: mpsfiles.txt. Also, some info is scattered across he archives at Google Groups.

Alright, I've added the list of the MPS FTP demo folder contents to the first post, with the links to the files that have been found so far. I've also indicated the files that are original, unmodified ZIP archives.

I'm aware that archive.org's Classic PC Games archive has some files from MicroProse FTP, but that is also incomplete.

Apparently many of MicroProse's files have been preserved by the Wayback Machine at this address:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://ftp.microprose.com/*

Directory listings can be found here:
http://ftp.microprose.com/ftp/mps-onlin ... sfiles.txt
http://ftp.microprose.com/ftp/mps-online/mpsfiles.txt
http://ftp.microprose.com/ftp/mps-online/mpslong.txt

Another mirror:

I Think it might be Worth mentioning that a fellow called "Yellow Horror" put together a remake of MicroProse FTP and posted it through a torrent over at VOGONS. There rarely seem to be any seeders though, so I'm unable to download it. There's a mirror on some filesharing site too, but I can't seem to download there either. Perhaps someone who has it could upload it on Internet Archive or something? Here's the site for reference: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=5 ... 9&p=371871
EDIT: Forgot to mention, last time I downloaded the torrent I couldn't find a way to preserve the original file time stamps, is there a way to do so through torrent?

I was trying to find the demo that these screenshots were taken from, figured I should find an archive of the Microprose FTP site, stumbled across this thread, and then found that "someone" has in fact uploaded it to Internet Archive recently, so linking it here in case anyone else is looking for it: https://archive.org/details/ftp.microprose.com

Thanks to both of you, then, I guess

Here's the download of that Wildman demo, via the Wayback Machine: wildman.zip

Glad you find the upload(s) useful!
I still have more FTP's to upload, though I'll probably have to split them since I'm having trouble uploading large downloads (>10GB)
