[R-sig-Geo] MODIS download

[Thiago Veloso]

  Dear Matteo, dear Barak and dear R-colleagues,

  I am trying to use the scripts, but I am facing troubles to find the products I need - LAI (MOD15A2) and GPP (MOD17A2).

  At the "ftp://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov" repository, subdirectories /MOLT/MOD15A2.005/date and /MOLT/MOD17A2.005/date only show me .jpg files. No HDF images are available.

  Is there any trick to access the images or am I using the wrong url?

  Thanks in advance and best wishes,

  Thiago.
