Unexpected Closed Connection when attempting to retrieve CORS data via FTP

This may be indicative of an issue with your local DNS configuration. NGS does not block any IP addresses for FTP access. One thing that can be used to test connectivity is a proxy server ( such as www.anonymouse.org ).

Then go to: ftp://ftp.ngs.noaa.gov/

If that works it is most likely a local DNS configuration problem. If the Internet Service Provider has not configured their Domain Name Server to have a matching PTR and an A record in DNS, the FTP server may close the connection.
