No, .netcdfrc is correct. For historical reasons, there are a number of aliases for .dodsrc represented by the list. So .netcdfrc could be used in place of .dodsrc. It is deprecated. The name .netrc is built into libcurl and should not be confused with .netcdfrc. the format of .netrc and .netcdfrc are entirely different. =Dennis Heimbigner Unidata Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: HAW-868287 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Open =================== NOTE: All email exchanges with Unidata User Support are recorded in the Unidata inquiry tracking system and then made publicly available through the web.
