Douglas, > allow EXP 129.107.12.80 "^MPE*" # UTA LDM Server (WGRFC) There's the problem. The field "^MPE*" is interpreted by the LDM server as a regular-expression specifying what a product-identifier must match in order for its associated data-product to be sent. This regular-expression matches product-identifiers that *start* with "MP", followed by zero or more "E"s. An example of an actual product-identifier is "/data/ldad/ftp/ups2ldm/MPE/gis_text/hourly/2010110515_2010110516_st.txt.gz". Note that the "MPE" occurs in the middle and not the beginning. Change the above ALLOW entry to something like allow EXP ^129\.107\.12\.80$ "^/data/ldad/ftp/ups2ldm/MPE" and restart the LDM ("ldmadmin restart") and data should flow. Note that the periods have been escaped and that the anchors "^" and "$" have been used to prevent connections from, say, host "129.107.12.80.malicious.com".
