Find out about technical requirements for delivery of your real-time forecast data from ECMWF

See an overview of the way real-time forecast data are delivered to you.

Real-time data delivery - technical set-up

Our technical team will set up the dissemination of the data based on the information you have provided in the registration form that you completed when you ordered your real-time data.

We will contact you at the email you have given as single point of contact to let you know that the set-up is ready and that dissemination can start.

Required information for data delivery by ECMWF

We deliver real-time products via ftp, sftp, AmazonS3 and Microsoft Azure. Please click on one of the options below to see the exact requirements for all these methods. 

 We will need the following information:
  • host name or IP
  • protocol (ftp/sftp)
  • username and password with permission to read-write and rename
  • receiving directory

Please note that for ftp we support the following ports:
21 (standard)
2121 (non standard)

For sftp we support:
22 (standard)
2222 (non standard)

FTP/SFTP

We will need the following information:

  • aws_access_key_id 
  • aws_secret_access_key
  • Bucket name

We will need the following information:

  • SAS (SharedAccessSignature) URL

  • Blob container name

Our dissemination system is built in such a way that we push files. We need permission to rename and overwrite files we put into the receiving directory.

During the transmission, dissemination files have the extension '.tmp'. If the transmission is unsuccessful for whatever reason, it is repeated.  The file gets renamed to its original name only after successful transmission.
