Nightly FTP snapshots are no longer available. It is more difficult
than you might think to make them reliably.
To check out a CVS working directory:
1) Install CVS version 1.9 or later on your system.

About Snapshots ======================================================
Each night, we make the current Guile sources available via anonymous
FTP. Please keep in mind that these sources are strictly
experimental; they will usually not be well-tested, and may not even
compile on some systems. They may contain interfaces which will
change. They will usually not be of sufficient quality for use by
people not comfortable hacking the innards of Guile. Caveat!
However, we're providing them anyway for several reasons. We'd like
to encourage people to get involved in developing Guile. People
willing to use the bleeding edge of development can get earlier access
to new, experimental features. Patches submitted relative to recent
snapshots will be easier for us to evaluate and install, since the
patch's original sources will be closer to what we're working with.
And it allows us to start testing features earlier.
Nightly snapshots of the Guile development sources are available via
anonymous FTP from ftp.red-bean.com, as /pub/guile/guile-core-snap.tar.gz.
Via the web, that's: ftp://ftp.red-bean.com/pub/guile/guile-core-snap.tar.gz
For getit, that's: ftp.red-bean.com:/pub/guile/guile-core-snap.tar.gz
The snapshot FTP site is mirrored at the following locations:

Anonymous CVS Access and FTP snapshots ===============================
We make the developers' working Guile sources available via anonymous
CVS, and by nightly snapshots, accessible via FTP. See the files
`ANON-CVS' and `SNAPSHOTS' for details.
Hacking It Yourself ==================================================
