Hi Steve, Yes, the system used at this end is still ftp.cmc.ec.gc.ca . Our networks were reorganised in the past months to increase security... I guess we are experiencing the effects! I have forwarded a request to our networks group to open port 388. I will let you know as soon as it is available.

Will that still be the host, or has it changed? I checked our ability to reach ftp.cmc.ec.gc.ca from shemp.unidata.ucar.edu which was the computer that used to feed the data, and found that the host is no longer reachable from our end. % ping dns2.cmc.ec.gc.ca ICMP 13 Unreachable from gateway 199.212.17.97 % ldmping dns2.cmc.ec.gc.ca Feb 13 17:53:13 State Elapsed Port Remote_Host rpc_stat Feb 13 17:53:23 SVC_UNAVAIL 9.995334 0 dns2.cmc.ec.gc.ca h_clnt_create(dns2.cmc.ec.gc.ca): Timed out while creating connection If you can let me know what your host will be, I can test from this end. If you are blocking port 388 from a firewall or tcp wrappers, then you may have to open it up to: 128.117.140.27 shemp.unidata.ucar.edu or 128.117.13.119 motherlode.ucar.edu Thanks, Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support **************************************************************************** < Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program < (303)497-8644 P.O.
