[R-sig-Geo] Antw: Re: MODIS download

[Thiago Veloso]

  Matteo,

  Thanks for the tip. The problem was in my connection. After probing the ftp again, behind a proxy, all the contents were shown (including hdf and xml files). I reported it to the IT guys and everything is fine now.
 
  However, I received an error after trying to reproduce your suggestion:

> library(getMODIS)
Loading required package: RCurl
Loading required package: bitops
> getHDF('/Users/thiago/Downloads/MODIS/images/',product="MOD17A2",tileH=10:14,tileV=7:14,startdate="2005.01.01",enddate="2006.12.31")
Loading required package: audio
No Collection spezified used the newest for MOD17A2 : 005 
 
  (it successfully download tiles V from 7 to 11 inside "first" tile H (which is 10)). Then, the error message:

  Error in dates[[z]][i, j + 1] <- HDF : replacement has length zero

  I'm running latest R version and updated packages in Mac. Below is my sessio info:

> sessionInfo()
R version 2.13.2 (2011-09-30)

other attached packages:

loaded via a namespace (and not attached):

  Any tip on what might be causing this error?

  Best wishes,

  Thiago.
