Thank you!  I've accessed your FTP site, and it looks like you have
everything already set up and working.

We'll accept your generous offer, and reference your FTP site as an
alternate source of the netCDF software for European users.

It sounds like you may already have scripts set up to detect new files
at our FTP site and copy them to your site.  If not, let me know what e-mail
address you would like to have us use to send notification of new files.
