EMADDC would like to inform you that KNMI will be migrating the FTP Service server (ftpservice.knmi.nl) to a new host operating system version starting October 1st. This migration will be carried out without any interruption to the existing services.

To ensure continued operations, it is crucial that the FTP client on your end is up-to-date. Additionally, to ensure that the SFTP (not SSH) functionality works properly, EMADDC recommends verifying your configurations and following the instructions provided regarding SSH keys, which can be found in more detail here (at the bottom of the page under "Important Tips for SSH configuration".

A permanent fix is to add the code below to your ~/.ssh/config file

Host ftppro.knmi.nl
  User <_USER_NAME_>
  PreferredAuthentications password
  PubkeyAuthentication no
 
Host ftpservice.knmi.nl
  User <_USER_NAME_>
  PreferredAuthentications password
  PubkeyAuthentication no

KNMI is pleased to provide the opportunity to test the new version via the FTP Pro server (ftppro.knmi.nl), which has already been updated. We kindly ask that you verify your current client and configuration (including credentials) on this server. Please note that the same credentials used for the FTP Service are applicable for FTP Pro.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out either to wa-applbeheer@knmi.nl or emaddc@knmi.nl.
