Hi Ahmed, re: > when i am trying to open the EUMETSAT sattellite image ,it asks for > password although in the EUMETSAT the web site itself i can view the > image without password.so why IDV need password. The EUMETSAT server that provides the Meteosat 9 data requires the password. The IDV recognizes that the user must be registered with EUMETSAT and correspondingly prompts for the password.
