root zone file

Anyone know where I can obtain the latest and greatest? I just tried
ftp.icann.org to no avail (host not found.) which is where I used to get
them.
Thanks in advance

It doesn't change very often (when was the last time it changed?), but
there is always:

This is not the root zone file.

This is some hacked up zone file that someone made in an attempt to
propagate their own TLDs or agenda.

I certainly don't agree with ICANN but to try to trick somebody into
using a doctored zone file is deceitful.

That was a mistake..i was not trying to deceive anyone..i apologize for the errant information.
