LS,

I can’t
get access to the ftp site.

Does
anyone know the correct/new/updated site.

Thanks,

Arthur

As
before:

ftp.pctresources.com
ftp://ftp.pctresources.com/ user name: pctstudent

password
re5earch!

More on
Cybernetics, Stafford Beer and Ashby.

I am
working on the publication of letters between Phil Runkel and Bill

Powers.
Much background information needs to be in place before I release

it.

One of
the items is the newsletter Continuing the Conversation, CC, edited

by CSG
archivist and dedicated PCTer Greg Williams from 1985 through 1991,

when he
switched to Closed Loop. Bill and Phil discuss a few issues of CC in

their correspondence,
so I want to provide a link to that which they

discuss.

Greg
scanned and I recreated the entire series. (Yes, it took many

manweeks).
Just today, I have arrived at a point of agreement from

contributors
so I can release the pdf file with this series. (You can search

for
Beer and Ashby to see what they have to say and what Bill and Mary have

to say
to and about them.)

As
before:

ftp://ftp.pctresources.com/ user name: pctstudent

Arthur, Please try again. I find that I sometimes have to refresh passwords for ftp folders. As if my host forgets them. Just did.

I tried, using FileZilla and the information in your post, and the login failed (error 539 login incorrect). Then, "critical error" followed by "Could not connect to server."

Just tried again, being very careful to stay in lower case, to type the 5 and the ! in the password, and so on. Same failure.

Then I tried Firefox with

ftp://ftp.pctresources.com

and filled in user name and password when requested. Same failure.

Best,

Bill P.
