Hello~
I want to download all the URLs in a file called http_manifest.txt using Wget on Windows 10. The file was obtained after ordering VIIRS L2 data from NASA Ocean Color. However, when I ran Wget for one URL using this command: wget
https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/getfile/requested_files_1.tar?h=ocdist309&p=/data1/7060517533972d6a/requested_files, I got an error as bellow:
I wonder what is 'p'? Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
In addition, is it possible to download all URLs in the http_manifest.txt file using wget?
Thank you in advance.
Elaine.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I tried the instructions in that website. Specifically, when I ran "wget --load-cookies ~/.urs_cookies --save-cookies ~/.urs_cookies --auth-no-challenge=on --no-check-certificate --content-disposition -i
https://oceandata.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi/getfile/requested_files_1.tar?h=ocdist309&p=/data1/7060517533972d6a/requested_files", I got an error as below:

Do you know how to fix this issue?
Thank you in advance.

Although they don't seem to mention it, the instructions at <
https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/download_methods/> are for linux or macOS and will need extensive changes for use on Windows. In my experience, there are many versions of wget.exe for Windows, but many are
old or otherwise limited and do not work well. The python script does work reliably on Windows.
Note that you should check the name and permissions of your ".netrc" file.

Hi Elaine,
I think you need to configure your username and password for authentication using a .netrc file following the instruction on the following page:

Please let us know whether this helps.

Seems the "p" is incorrectly being interpreted as a command line option to wget. Try putting the URL in quotes, e.g.:
wget --load-cookies ~/.urs_cookies --save-cookies ~/.urs_cookies --auth-no-challenge=on --no-check-certificate --content-disposition -i
