Describe your problem or question:
Hello,
I executed "check_input_data --download" to download required data for my CESM2 run.
However, I got errors.

Resolving ftp.cgd.ucar.edu (ftp.cgd.ucar.edu)... 128.117.13.41
Connecting to ftp.cgd.ucar.edu (ftp.cgd.ucar.edu)|128.117.13.41|:21... failed: Connection refused.

Could you let me know how I can resolve the above problem?
Thank you.

Hi Yonghan Choi,

I believe our inputdata servers no longer support ftp as a connection option. Does your system allow for alternative protocols like svn or wget? If so then you can try one of those using the --protocol flag? For example:

Code: 
./check_input_data --download --protocol svn

Of course if that still doesn't work for your system then please let us know.

Thanks, and have a great day!

Jesse

Hello Jesse,

Thank you for your kind suggestion!
Unfortunately, adding "--protocol" flag did not work, it resulted in the same error.

Have a good day!

Try this version of the config_inputdata.xml file.

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<inputdata>
  <!-- server precidence is order in this file.  Highest preference at top -->
  <!-- If the client doesn't have the protocol it will be skipped -->
  <!-- chksum verification of inputfiles is possible.  If a file with name -->
  <!-- inputdata_chksum.dat is found on the server in the directory above inputdata -->
  <!-- it will be searched for filename and chksum of each downloaded file.  -->
  <!-- see the file ftp://ftp.cgd.ucar.edu/cesm/inputdata_chksum.dat for proper format. -->
