DATA SUBMISSION PROCEDURES

password: your email address
change directory: cd /pub/incoming/rainex
binary mode: bin
move file: put filename

If you are running Netscape or Internet Explorer you may enter the following url data.eol.ucar.edu/pub/incoming/rainex and you will be taken directly to the public directory area here at EOL. You may then use the upload file utility under "file" in the control panel to move the data and documentation over to EOL.

If the files are larger than 100MB each, we generally recommend that you send us a CD- ROM, tape, Exabyte or DAT would be preferred, with the data and documentation. Remember that a CD normally holds about 600MB of data. This process avoids potential problems with large file transfers across the Internet. If you are using a modem link on your computer, files larger than 20MB should be transferred via CD or tape.
