Sean,

Thanks. Sounds great!

We had to modify your suggested wget-command a bit, to get it to work as intended (we believe):

wget -q -N -i --no-if-modified-since --post-data="subID=1527&subType=2&addurl=1&results_as_file=1&sdate=`date --date="yesterday" +"%Y-%m-%d"`" -O - https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search | wget -N -i -

Dear
My IP is also blocked? xx.xxx.xx.xx. I'm having troubles to connect to the servers.

Hi, OceanColor Team:

We couldn't connect to https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/getfile since 6 Dec.

We ran the following codes on the server to download the data:
$wget https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/getfile/A2007119042500.L0_LAC.bz2

It was successful at first. However, it has been failing recently. The error messages are as follows:

The  IP addresses we used are xx.xxx.xx.xx and xx.xxx.xx.xx (It's inconstant, sometimes it is xx.xxx.xx.xx, sometimes it is xx.xxx.xx.xx). Would you please confirm that our addresses are not blocked at your end?

Thanks.

I did a check of the firewall and logs.  There is no sign of a block against any IP 172.16.202.* in December or November.  I tried the command line shown, and it was successful in downloading a file to a system here at GSFC.  I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what is causing your timeout errors.
