This will not be solved until the end of the week at the earliest. In the meantime we will continue sending our NPLD data directly to AIUB, IESSG, and our own FTP site, ftp.npl.co.uk/pub/gpsphase/. My apologies for the inconvenience (and the cross-posting).

Although it allows us to do the initial log-in process, any attempt to transfer data (even do a directory listing) will hang forever. On checking our firewall logs, I think this problem is caused by a "feature" of their FTP server that our firewall system objects to. Fortunately there is a work-around I can apply at this end. This will involve me re-writing one of the scripts that handle these transfers. Will have to wait until Friday as I am out of the office tomorrow and Thursday. For the time being I've disabled your batch job, so you won't get an endless stream of errors.
