For those who prefer to use our anonymous ftp site, the following steps can be used.
Depending on traffic conditions it may take a long time to download the larger data sets. You may wish to download the data in a separate window from your working window, or if the data rate is unacceptably slow, cancel the transfer and try later.
ftp pdssbn.astro.umd.edu
username: anonymous
password: (your email address)
cd ftp/review
ls (to show the files and their sizes)
binary
prompt
hash
get sdcida_0001.zip
(to get the file named "sdcida_0001.zip")
OR
mget * (to get all the files)
(this could take a while)
(wait until it is done downloading)
bye
After retrieving the files, unzip them with the command unzip sdcida_0001.zip (to unzip the file named "sdcida_0001.zip"). You can unpack these files anywhere and they will create their own subdirectory tree with root names identical to the file (e.g. sdcida_0001.zip unpacks to create a subdirectory called "sdcida_0001" containing the SDCIDA_0001 volume files and directories.)
If you have any difficulty transferring the data sets, contact Anne Raugh
