Originating centres should upload their files to the FTP server ftpaux.ecmwf.int (using login wmolcdnv) to the directory /data/incoming/ (URL ftp://wmolcdnv@ftpwmolcdnv@aux.ecmwf.int/data/incoming/)
The incoming directory for incoming files will be periodically scanned and new files processed. If a new file passes the syntax check it will be moved to the archive directory and its content imported to the LC DNV score database.
Archived files
URL ftpsftp://wmolcdnv@ftpwmolcdnv@aux.ecmwf.int/, directory: /data/svs/cccc/
(for the centre identifier cccc see above).
Note the preferable transfer protocol is SFTP, although the plain FTP can be also used. For information on how to get access to FTP server please check here.
