However, we don't use the NWS ftp site, but use their web site in a similar fashion to download the products via "lynx" on one of our unix boxes. For example, the following line: /usr/local/bin/lynx -source "http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/fax/QYAA00.TIF" > tmp_difax.tif basically does the same thing as an ftp transfer (although not quite as fast).

It is fixed and we are back in buisness. Thanks for the input.
