230- Welcome to www.nodc.noaa.gov, the ftp server
230- at the National Oceanographic Data Center.
230-
230-This server can compress/uncompress files on the fly using either
230-GNU zip (gzip/gunzip) or the standard UNIX compress. The gzip software
230-is available in /pub/utils. If the file ISN'T compressed (i.e., doesn't
230-end in ".gz" or ".Z"), you can compress it on its way out by just
230-appending either suffix to the filename. For instance, if the file is
230-medsfmt.dat, just use "get medsfmt.dat.gz" to get a gzip-ed version.
230-Uncompression works similarly, just leave the suffix off of the file name
230-to have it uncompressed before it is sent. PLEASE get the compressed
230-version if you can uncompress it at your site. Some of the GTSPP data
230-files are pretty big uncompressed and will take a long time to transfer
230-if uncompressed (some are 10 MBs).
(this part was just a note for customers downloading data...continue reading below)
