Brian,

>help?

Please send the exact URL that you tried to use.  I just downloaded the
netCDF 3.5.0 binary for Win32 from:

ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/contrib/win32/netcdf-3.5.0.win32bin.ZIP

with no problems.

One thing that our FTP server enforces is forward and reverse name
lookup for machines attempting to do downloads (helps prevent denial of
service attacks).  What machine are you trying to do the FTP from
(fully qualified host name and IP address)?

Also, one problem we see again and again is someone trying to transfer
to a directory on their machine for which they don't have write
access.  Since you didn't include the exact error message you were
getting, I can't tell if this situation may apply to you.

ThanksFor Replying Tom,
I tried it again today, and it worked.  But then, I realized that I had 
already downloaded the ZIP files a month ago.  Ooops.
Anyhow, did you also receive my question about the preference of 
platforms?  I sent it about the same time as the one you responded to.
Essentially, i asked why I might want to use windows instead of linux 
or hp-unix in order to work with netcdf data.
Cheers,
BRian
