update_ssephem wget no longer working

[jvines]

As stated in https://cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ anonymous ftp no longer works making the line gets to cddis.nasa.gov fail.

The new method is exemplified as follows:

Download the file 'cs2rx17001.001.Z' from archive directory '/doris/data/cs2/2017/' to your local file system.

--ftp-user anonymous = specifies the user name is "anonymous" --ftp-password = specifies that the password is your email address

wget --ftp-user anonymous --ftp-password ftps://gdc.cddis.eosdis.nasa.gov/doris/data/cs2/2017/cs2rx17001.001.Z

so lines 5 and 56 need updating

This is as far as I got with a solution for this ...

Create an Earthdata Login account.

https://cddis.nasa.gov/Data_and_Derived_Products/CDDIS_Archive_Access.html then create a .netrc file with the line ...

machine cddis.gsfc.nasa.gov login <USERNAME> password <PASSWORD>

.. then set the correct permission on this file ..

$ chmod 0600 .netrc

.. then change the addresses in the wget commands in ceres/utils/SSEphem/update_ssephem.py to

https://cddis.nasa.gov/archive/products/iers/finals2000A.data

and

https://cddis.nasa.gov/archive/products/iers/leapsec.dat

Unfortunately, these web addresses then do some complex redirection to the actual file that a browser can handle but I could not figure out how to make wget do this. Instead, I just downloaded the files and commented-out the wget commands.

@pmaxted I made a solution back then, sorry I didn't share it earlier.

This is my update_ssephem.py file:

I tested it today (05-02-2022) and it correctly downloaded and saved finals2000A.data
