How to Mirror XMM CCF files from GSFC (and Vilspa)


If you would like to mirror the XMM-Newton CCF files from GSFC the below commands will work on most unix/linux systems that have wget installed.
If you don't have wget installed, it can be downloaded from the GNU Wget page or via the yum/fink commands often found on newer Mac and Linux systems. On the Mac use the command:

'fink install wget'
On Linux with the command:
'yum install wget'

To download and mirror the full CCF directory and the other subdirectories available via GSFC (4.9 Gb):

wget -m -nH --cut-dirs=3 -np ftp://legacy.gsfc.nasa.gov/xmm/data/CCF/ &

To download only the CCF files (1.7 Gb):

wget -r -N -nr -nH --cut-dirs=3 -l 1 -np ftp://legacy.gsfc.nasa.gov/xmm/data/CCF/ &

Note: If you want to retrieve the same files directly from Vilspa just replace the ftp location with:
ftp://xmm.esac.esa.int/pub/ccf/constituents/
