I managed to open .txt files without uploading them first. The spaces in your directory names could cause problems, but I'm guessing here. On my mac, I did:
pathname = '/Users/sschym/Documents/papers/WRR_budyko/data/CT45bigleafmultisoil8n_12_scl_30yr/' data = numpy.loadtxt(pathname + 'yearly.txt',dtype='S17') and it worked. Try it step by step to see where the error occurs. You could also try: fname = pathname + 'base.txt' fh = file(fname) first_row = fh.readline() If fh = filen(fname) returns an error, then there is likely a problem with the path. Otherwise, if first_row contains the first line of your base.txt file, the import is not the problem.
