[Talk-ca] Fwd: FW: FW: GeoBase NHN FTP directory not working

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi all,
The FTP for the NHN directory is now back to how it should be :)  So i can
make that Tofino Example.

Here's a chart comparing the datasets.

PRODUCTS INFORMATION AND STATISTICS FROM GEOBASE = BLUE AND GEOGRATIS = RED
PRODUCT SCALE COORD Format Nbrs files Size Comp.Cover CanVec 50k Lat/long
Shape 12538 27.0Gb Yes CanVec 50k Lat/long GML 12538 17.2Gb Yes NRN 50k
Lat/long Shape/GML/KML 62 1.83Gb Yes NHN 50k Lat/long Shape/GML/KML 5756
59.3 Gb Yes
So it looks like at 27.0Gb is a little bit of data :-)
But NHN is more... that's alot of water :-)

Cheers,
Sam

Oh ya here's the FTP directory for all the GeoBase stuff. (Steve Singer is
downloading from the NRN folder.  And hey, anyone interested in looking at
the other stuff Canadian Geodedic network? and those ortho images? let
talk-ca know :-)

ftp://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/geobase/official/

So you can run the GeoBaseNHN2osm script your self and what it looks like
for your area.

 Mr Vekeman,

Thank you for reporting a broken link to our server connection and failure
to access data from our portal.

As you may be aware during the course of the weekend our server was disabled
and users request were not functional and we are sorry for the inconvenience
this may have caused you. The system maintenance team has resolved the
problem as of this morning.

You should be able to connect to our web portal and have access your data
again.

In response to you previous email I have attched  product stats related
to CanVec, NHN and NRN

Thank you in advance for your understanding.

 Hi again,
Unfortunately the link still doesn't work. :(
ftp://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/geobase/official/nhn_rhn/

on the geobase NHN page where you have the 3 options
http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/find.do;jsessionid=7441EEBF8F2E33E1E940AC3D77CE75C0?produit=nhn

the last one is FTP directory and it links to:
http://www.geobase.ca/geobase/en/download.do?produit=nhn&items=official/nhn_rhn/&protocol=ftp

Thanks,
