Important changes to SolarSoft

The SolarSoft library is distributed to the community through an anonymous FTP site at NASA/GSFC. Effective August 1st, NASA will be decommissioning unencrypted/anonymous FTP login, and so current scripts for installing and updating SolarSoft libraries (and databases) from the FTP server at GSFC will cease to function.

In preparation for this decommissioning, we are currently modifying the scripts to connect to a new server at https://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/solarsoft. These modifications are not yet complete, but are expected to be working soon. We will keep the community informed of any progress.

Note that individual instrument directories are already accessible through, for example,

https://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/solarsoft/soho
https://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/solarsoft/hinode

and the directory structure is the same as for the ftp site.

If you have any questions or problems, a SolarSoft helpdesk has been set up at: [log in to unmask]
