[comp.edu] Need help getting a file from UMD FTP

taylor@limbo.Intuitive.Com (Dave Taylor) (07/02/90)

I've tried a couple of times, going through Dr. Glenn Ricart and others,
to obtain a particular file from the UMDC.UMD.EDU FTP archives, to no
avail.  Now I'd like to make an open request to the Usenet...

Somewhere in the FTP archives of umdc.umd.edu (I believe, though it is
possible that it's on another machine too) is an excellent article 
from Dr. Marcia Halio of UMD entitled "Student Writing: Can the 
Machine Affect the Message?".   Dr. Halio assured me that it was
available via FTP access, though she has no idea how FTP works.

Anyway, I don't have any information further than that and when I
try to connect to the UMD FTP server, it doesn't seem to allow
anonymous FTP connections at all.

If *you* can connect to the machine, dig through the archives, and
find the 'straight ASCII' version of the article, I would *greatly*
appreciate receiving a copy of it!

		Thanks greatly for your help, in advance!!
