New release of the archive data download shell script

Published: 16 Sep 2015

In order to improve security, we have implemented a small change in the use of the download shell script (e.g. downloadRequestXXXXXXscript.sh) attached to any complete archive data requests. The shell script is accessible once logged in at the following link:

http://dataportal.eso.org/rh/requests/USERNAME/REQUESTNUMBER

When running the script, you will be prompted for your User Portal password.

For more information, please read the following FAQ.
