> Hi Jeff, Hi Anthony, > > The server/webpage I'm trying to access is the following link for NCEP-GFS > data > > http://motherlode.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/ldm/genweb?decoded/netcdf/grid/NCEP/GFS/CONUS_80km > This page is not password protected, HOWEVER, we do not support long term programmatic access to this archive. The intended purpose of the motherlode archive is to allow the Unidata community members to fill in any gaps they may have in their data collections due to hardware, software, or network issues. Unidata does not mind the public accessing this data on occasion, but we will block IP's that set up continuous programmatic access. There are many NWS servers that make this data available via HTTP and OpenDAP, you may have better luck there i.e. http://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/ > Do you happen to have an FTP version of this webpage? > > Thanks > > Anthony > Cheers, Jeff Jeff Weber Unidata User Support http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: HTK-741775 Department: Support IDD Priority: Critical Status: Open
