Data access index links broken

The file links in your "Direct Data Access" website section appear to be broken. eg. going to https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov (/Ancillary/Attitude-Ephemeris/2018/215/PM1ATTNR_NRT.A2018215.0235.061) produces a 404 error page, as does https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov (/MODIS-Aqua/L1/2018/183/A2018183013500.L1A_LAC.bz2) and, well, everything else I go to through that page. The "getfile" links still work if you know which files you want (which means the file search still works), so the files are there, but the links are broken (and look to have been so since around the middle of Wednesday, GMT).

Thanks for reporting that. The servers are being restarted to clear the problem.
You should be able to access the data now.

Hi TommyThanks for the quick response, but I'm still getting 404s eg. tried https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov (/Ancillary/Attitude-Ephemeris/2018/214/PM1ATTNR_NRT.A2018214.1540.061). These are files I didn't try previously, so shouldn't be caching at my end.

You are using:https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov (/Ancillary/Attitude-Ephemeris/2018/214/PM1ATTNR_NRT.A2018214.1540.061). The files are not accessible directly via that URL.If you hover your mouse over the link on the page, you will see that the file URL points to the getfile call: https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov (/cgi/getfile/PM1ATTNR_NRT.A2018214.1540.061). That is the URL you need to fetch with wget or curl.Tommy

Yeah, I know that, but if I click on the link in my web browser it should work (and doesn't).

I can't reproduce the error you are seeing. I'll kick this up to the web folks.

Grrr... it's working now, sorry. Looks like the problem was that the links on the page were going to the wrong place until your reboot, but I didn't refresh the browser window I had open on the index so my links were still wrong. I thought there was a server-side redirect (but there isn't, as you say), so I didn't think I needed to refresh the page.
