Hello all. We've been forced to make some changes here at PC7. Apparently, our systems group didn't appreciate the way Howard kludged the anonymous ftp. It was actually sort of a security hole, but enough of that. In its place, we have real anonymous ftp. The new procedure (and hopefully last) goes like this... ftp him1.cc.umich.edu (or 35.1.1.43) name: anonymous pass: whatever cd PC7: ls ? (NB: The wildcard is ? not *) Do not try to ftp the old way, it just won't work. Also, as a reminder, the archive on Clio isn't supported anymore, it will be destroyed in a few days. Everything on there is on PC7. Many people have sent me mail about problems with accessing PC7. I'm sorry I couldn't answer all of your messages, but the problems should be fixed now. PC7 is not on a unix machine, it needs a special piece of hardware (the HIM) to be able to ftp. The HIM is not a production model yet, thus it is flakey sometimes. Be patient and try again later if you have problems. If you are still having problems, then send me a message. Still working on the mail access, and still having problems...
