Trying hard to get a repository setup in Ubuntu

[niccholaspage]

I am trying to make a repository that has some extras for Ubuntu and Ultimate OS. I added the source to /etc/apt/sources.list. When I do sudo apt-get update, I get these warnings:

W: Failed to fetch ftp://niccholaspage@sephizor.com/archive/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/Release.gpg Could not resolve 'niccholaspage@sephizor.com'

W: Failed to fetch ftp://niccholaspage@sephizor.com/archive/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2 Could not resolve 'niccholaspage@sephizor.com'

W: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

The repository did not work at all.(Repo is at ftp://niccholaspage@sephizor.com/archive/ubuntu intrepid main)
The file structure is this:
archive/ubuntu/intrepid/main/
I have have gwho deb and a Packages.gz.

man 5 apt.conf

Search for ftp. You have to specify the password for password-protected ftp servers in /etc/apt/sources.list in the form ftp://[[user][:pass]@]host[:port]/ in ftp::Proxy.

If I set it up like that,Wouldn't it be easy for someone to see my FTP password?

Yes. But you can chmod 600 it. Normally, there is no reason to worry about password-protecting a Debian repository--this is free software, after all.
