How to Mirror XMM CCF files from GSFC (and ESA)

---

If you would like to mirror the XMM-Newton CCF files from GSFC the below commands will work on most unix/linux systems that have wget installed.
If you don't have wget installed, it can be downloaded from the: GNU Wget page or via the yum/fink/ports commands often found on newer Mac and Linux systems. On the Mac use the command:

'fink install wget'

On Linux with the command:

'yum install wget'

If the below commands are executed in the target directory, then wget will retrieve only the CCF files that do not already exist or have been updated.

To download and mirror the full CCF directory and the other subdirectories available via GSFC (44 Gb):

wget -m -nH --cut-dirs=3 -e robots=off -np -R "index.html*" https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/xmm/data/CCF &

To download only the CCF files (7 Gb):

wget -m -nH --cut-dirs=4 -e robots=off -l 2 -np -R "index.html*" https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/xmm/data/CCF &

To download only the ESAS files (5 Gb):

wget -m -nH --cut-dirs=3 -e robots=off -l 2 -np -R "index.html*" https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/xmm/data/ESAS &

Note: If you want to retrieve the same files directly from ESA just replace the ftp location with:
ftp://sasdev-xmm.esac.esa.intnt/pub/ccf/valid_constituents/

or visit the ESA XMM CCF site .
