Hi John, I played a bit more with the catalog.xml. This works well with wget. I managed now to download all the netcdf-files from a directory: wget -nc -r -l2 -A.nc -I /thredds/fileServer/,/thredds/catalog/ 'http://dev-vm188/thredds/catalog/osisaf/met.no/ice/' I use here the existing datasetScan catalog.xml file, and fetch all nc-files up to two links away. Beside the nc-file, I get the catalog-file of the nc-file (e.g. http://dev-vm188/thredds/catalog/osisaf/met.no/ice/catalog.html?dataset=met.no/ice/ice_conc_nh_200911261200_CF.nc), too. A catalog-file in the fileServer would be saver, since the 2-levels (parent and child) might include other information, but at least I can offer our users something already now.
