NSSDC FTP Server Main Page
Overview02.06.2006
This area is NSSDC's primary ftp pathway to data and services. This "nssdcftp" directory structure is currently shared by NSSDC and the SPDF (Space Physics Data Facility), which until recently were part of the same organization, but are now separate entities, under different organization. Their homepages are at http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov and http://spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov, respectively. As of February, 2006, there were seven customer-relevant directories and six customer- irrelevant unix system directories. Each customer-relevant directory herein has its own readme file, where appropriate. These directories are:
| # | Directory: | Short Description: |
| 1 | miscellaneous | (Select the directory of interest, then see the readme file in that directory.) |
| 2 | models | NSSDC's holding of solar-terrestrial models available for distribution and staging |
| 3 | photo_gallery | NSSDC's Photo Gallery of images with captions for users seeking alternatives to web-browser both downloading of low and hi-resolution images. |
| 4 | selected_software | Special-purpose software tools (CDF, IDL, PDS, etc.) |
| 5 | spacecraft_data | NSSDC's on-line access area for spacecraft data, organized primarily by spacecraft series, spacecraft, experiment, data set, time span. |
| 6 | staging | Data staging area for web-based SPDF services including ATMOWEB, COHOWeb, FTPBrowser, MODELWeb, and OMNIWeb. |
| 7 | standards | Repository for files related to software standards such as CDF, FITS, NOST and SFDU |
