Bonjour James,

When I clik on the link you provide I can see all expected 040PXX files (the 
directory is not empty).

May be you are trying to access them through http?  Have a look at 
http://geogratis.gc.ca/geogratis/en/faq.html#q4

We don't have the ressources to provide the community with something else for 
the moment. 

Regards,
Daniel

Subject: [Talk-ca] NTS tile 040P

Hello,
I believe I am looking for a subtile of 040P but the directory 
ftp://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/osm/pub/040/P/ is empty.

This brings up a related point:
Is there a web page that makes it easy to find the tile you want?
A mashup would be ideal.

I took a quick look at the openstreetmap OpenLayers api and it has at least 
some of the capability needed. In fact, given a list of the centers of the 
tiles, we could use the example, 
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Openlayers_POI_layer_example
with trivial modifications to display an icon on each one. Clicking on an icon 
would display the URL for the corresponding osm file.

Here is what textfile.txt would look like:
lat     lon     title   description     icon    iconSize        iconOffset
48.9459301      9.6075669       040J03.3.osm    To get the .osm file for this 
tile go to<br>ftp://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/osm/pub/040/J/040J03.zip        
Ol_icon_blue_example.png        24,24   0,-24
[the coordinates in the above are not correct]

There are some issue, though, which I can go into if people like this idea.
