Hi Ward,

>I am attempting to get data from the neartime directory 
>atunidata2.ssec.wisc.edu.  I used the following commands 
>which worked in Spring 2001 (I've not accessed the 
>directory since then):  
>
>dir *.goes8ir, for east coast thermal infrared images
>dir *.goes8vis, for east coast visible images
>dir *.goes8wv, for east coast water vapor images
>etc....
>
>The commands do not work.  Kindly inform me of (or direct 
>me to) the current structure of the filenames in the 
>neartime directory so we can access the data.

After you connect to unidata2.ssec.wisc.edu using FTP
you will be at the top level of the data tree.  At this level
you will find two directories:

ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
drwxr-xr-x 215 ldm      ustaff       4608 Mar 22 00:30 neartime
drwxrwxrwx  35 ldm      ustaff       1024 Mar 14 16:46 urequest
226 Transfer complete.
130 bytes received in 0.063 seconds (2.03 Kbytes/s)

You need to descend into the neartime directory to find the
many days of near realtime data:

ftp> cd neartime
250 CWD command successful.

At this level, you will currently find directories for daily
Unidata-Wisconsin data going back to August 21, 2002.  You
then need to 'cd' to the directory for the day of data you are
interested.  For instance:

ftp> cd 20030222
250 CWD command successful.

At this level, you can use the commands you liste above to see
which files are available:

ftp> dir *.goes8ir
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.

Can you tell me which day of data you were interested in?  It is possible
that the day you picked did not have any data, but we won't be able
to determine that until we know exactly what data you were after.

>Thank you

Please let us know if you continue to have problems.
