-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Micah,
Many thanks with all your very timely help. I have had no issues since following you instructions to upgrade to 1.11.4 and installing it in the /opt directory. I used: $ ./configure --prefix=/opt/wget And point to ist specifically: /opt/wget/bin/wget --tries=10 -r -N -l inf --wait=1\ -nH --cut-dirs=2 ftp://oceans.gsfc.nasa.gov/MODISA/ATTEPH/ \ -o /home1/software/modis/atteph/mirror_a.log \ --directory-prefix=/home1/software/modis/atteph Thanks again.
