For the time being, ftp://lox.ucsd.edu is wholly unavailable. However, our new ftp server has been ready (and is configured with the exact same paths and setup as lox) for the past month. I urge anyone wanting to access data from SOPAC, via ftp, for any reason, to switch permanently to garner.ucsd.edu as soon as possible. OLD -> ftp://lox.ucsd.edu NEW -> ftp://garner.ucsd.edu This change is effective immediately, and permanently. After we fix lox, it will be available for a short period of time (~1 month or less) to help ease the transition for our users. Ironically, we had hoped to compose a more business-like message, under more controlled circumstances, only days from now. Unfortunately, old computer hardware doesn't always conform to human schedules. :) We're doing all we can to help expedite and ease the transition, both internally and externally. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.
