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.
Brock
