Re: Reading HDF files "The specified HDF file does not exist or can't be opened"

Mike,

Can you provide us a file so we can check?

Thanks,

Wei

You can ftp files to:

ftp ftp.cgd.ucar.edu
anonymous
<use your email address for the password>
cd incoming
put ...
put ...
.
.
.
quit
Note that for security reasons, you cannot list the contents of this directory, and neither can we. We need to know the exact names of the files in order to retrieve them.
