I can open the map through ArcX, but I cannot access any of the geospatial data. It does not recognize .gdb folders as geodatabases. I put the data on the FTP by copying through windows explorer. I attempted to copy them through ArcCatalog, but it will not connect to the FTP.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Layer files give an error message when I attempt to access them. </SPAN><BR /><SPAN>This may be more of an FTP issue, but it also seems like ArcX is attempting to access the data in a strange manner. It seems like it is being put in my local temporary folder, rather than directly accessing it from the FTP.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I can, however, get hyperlink to work that point to non GIS data on the FTP site.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>If anyone has any insight on getting everything to work, or even just confirm that I can't access data off the FTP with ArcX, it would be greatly appreciated.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>gabriel</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 06 May 2010 19:44:28 GMT GabrielHuebsch 2010-05-06T19:44:28Z Unable to access geospatial data through FTP https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-explorer-desktop-questions/unable-to-access-geospatial-data-through-ftp/m-p/447759#M2771 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I am trying to use an FTP site to hold an ArcX document, as well as all the geospatial data and files that are hyper-linked within the document.
