We just went through a troubleshooting session where the redirect issue was solved after the user deleted the old cookie file and was able to successfully execute the command with a new cookie file was generated. It is hopefully that simple for everyone else. Please give it a try.

The issue with your command is that the directory you are using is not the direct path to the files you want to retrieve. A 'year' directory sits between the two. If you use file search, this command gets you the URLS to the data which you can then download: wget -q --post-data="sensor=...

We removed the recommendation to --keep-session-cookies in the data download examples. What happens if you "save" cookies during your session, but don't "keep" them after you exit the browser?

Hi, Currently, you need to use a curl command and a .netrc file to store your credentials. First go to "Options for passing credentials" under the cURL heading on the Data Download Methods page. Then use a command like: curl -O -b ~/.urs_cookies -c ~/.urs_cookies -L -n https://oceandata.sc...

You had an old URL to the file_search utility.

Use wget --no-check-certificate --post-data="subID=244&results_as_file=1" -O - https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/api/file_search  > c:\seadas\aqua\subfiles.tmp
