Description
The Springer ftp server doesn't exist anymore.
llncs is now at 2.23 not 2.20 anymore.
The page https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines has a link "LaTeX2e Proceedings Templates download " which points to https://resource-cms.springernature.com/springer-cms/rest/v1/content/19238648/data/v7 which resolves to a zip file that contains llncs 2.23.
There's also a copy on CTAN https://ctan.org/pkg/llncs that mentions a CC BY 4.0 license, and that might (or not) provide more stable URLs to download present and older versions from.
