We got the "dir" problem cleared up about a month ago.  There shouldn't
be any trouble on either of the two machines providing ftp service
to mac.archive.umich.edu.  
  
If you do run into trouble, first:  wait an hour or two.  Sometimes our
file server goes down and the ftp machines refuse connections while
they wait for the server to come back up.  second:  if it's a file
retrieval problem such as BinHex can't unhex a file, use another version
of BinHex (like the ones built into Compact Pro or DeHqx).  If both these
rules fail, then send me e-mail....
  
hope that helps!
