Hi Christine,

I have just tried to logged in with those credentials you provided unfortunately I couldn't be able to succesfully logged in. Could you please confirm that those credentials still up to date and working fine?

Your prompt response will be higly appreciated.

Working just a minute ago with the new credentials using FileZilla, although I did have some connection issues yesterday.

Not sure what is going on with Esri's mft service. It has been pretty stable.

Hello. I am trying to download the 10.2 64-bit version of the software with no luck. I've tried the web interface, both Java and non-Java, as well as Filezilla. Tried in Chrome and IE.

Java: tries to connect forever.
Non-Java: I can see the .msi file but how do I download it? If I click on it I get an error: "Duplicate headers received from server"
FileZilla: Host is mft.esri.com, port 22. Current username/ password entered. Tried both ftp and sftp. "Network error, connection timed out."

An ideas?

Thanks,
James

James - Like you I had errors. I was able to use the:

Re: New password for Arc Hydro ftp site - March 11 2014

Just verified there are no issues with a fresh 'Site' connection using FileZilla.

Perhaps delete the existing entry in FileZilla site manager and enter the connection details as listed, i.e. mft.esri.com, port 22, "SFTP -- SSH File Transfer Protocol"

DO NOT COPY and PASTE the login and password from your web browser! Rather, TYPE it in! Or at the least copy it first to Notepad--and remove any extra spaces--and then copy & paste into the User and Password fields of FileZilla.

It must be my company's firewall. Still no luck. Thanks for the reply.

Hi - I'm also having trouble signing in. Using FileZilla, and made sure to use the SFTP - FHP protocol:

Status: Connecting to mft.esri.com...
Response: fzSftp started
Command: open "ADSRiverHydraulics@mft.esri.com" 22
Command: Pass: *************
Error: Disconnected: No supported authentication methods available (server sent: )
Error: Could not connect to server

Should I just try again tomorrow?

Thanks.

Please try again. It continues to work with the credentials as posted. Secure transfer site is fully functional.

One recent change has been in the landing directory for the account on the mft server. All Water Resources content has been moved from 'incoming' into a new directory 'camp' (wef 26 March 2014).

Christine, any insight on this?

Thanks for the reply - I had luck last night using the pre-configured program provided by ESRI.

It turns out it was an issue with our company network security settings. We had to 'open' port #22. Now I'm good to go. Thanks.

Why all this mumbo jumbo to download the new version? I can simply go to the regular ESRI site and download an older version with a simple link. Why isn't the new version similarly available without all this FTP, Port 22, Filezilla crapola!?
btw, I'm referring to the new version of Arc Hydro that works with ArcGIS 10.2

Re: New password for Arc Hydro ftp site - March 11 2014

V_StuartFoote — Wed, 02 Apr 2014 01:38:27 GMT

Terry,

As you are new to the forums, I'll be gentle. Esri Professional Services -- Water Resources Group is the keeper of the community developed ArcHydro data models and the various public domain tools required to manipulate the data format. They also host the beta testing and development for the USACE HEC folks and make those resources publicly available. About a year ago Esri moved the hosting from password protected simple ftp based to more reliable and secure Managed File Transfer (mft) model.

There has never been an effort to maintain current versions of the ArcHydro Tools of the related HEC GeoRAS or HEC GeoHMS from anonymous HTTP URL links. On occasion it might be announced on a blog or a forum post, but the most reliable delivery has been via the ftp and now the sftp process.

There have been a few hicups of late with the MFT service, with access dropping out and content being misplaced, but it remains the mechanism of choice to maintain access to this public domain software to extend ArcGIS with Hydrologic modeling tools.

The new MFT service requires just a bit more effort on the part of users, but that is what Esri has adopted for hosting the service. In short -- deal with it!

Stuart,
I have been a user of ESRI GIS since ArcINFO 7.1. I attended my first preconference seminar regarding the development of an ArcHydro data model back in 1998 and have attended Dr. Maidment's GIS in Water Resoures program. Although I am not a regular to this forum, I am far from 'new'. I have posted to ESRI User forum's in the past, but it is not a common or recent need.

I am a federal employee within the Department of the Interior. DOI's network security is fairly restrictive. I can not simply install Filezilla, open port 22 and other tasks on a whim.

Frankly, my big frustration is understanding why the fuss to limit access to this software to begin with. The market is fairly limited and I do not understand any significant need to have such a restriction to access this software. Additionally, considering versions of this software that will work with ArcGIS 10.0 and 10.1 are easily accessible, why is there a hoop to jump through to acquire a version that will run on 10.2? If it is a beta version with possible bugs, ample disclaimers can be given.

So, could someone please answer the basic question, what is the need to have such restrictions to access this software in place to begin with? It makes it considerably more difficult for some of us, who work under restrictive network security configurations, to acquire and use.

Thanks,

Terry!

Terry,

Esri Professional Services has long maintained their proprietary instructional materials along side the public domain software for the ArcHydro extensions.
Since they maintain the site they can host it as they see fit--so long as I still get access to the updates, patches and developmental builds that I need to provide to my faculty and students for course work and research.

I'm happy with it and see no reason to change what works beyond their decision to shift from ftp --> sftp.

Consider the alternative, that it be added to the completely borked ArcGIS Online based ArcGIS Resource Center codebase, SHUDDER!!!!

I reiterate, deal with it. But so as not to seem to boorish I'll offer to burn you, or anyone else, a DVD and snail mail it to you if you are really in that bad a state as to not being able to launch an outgoing sftp transfer over SSH port 22.

This is frustrating. I've tried FileZilla and mft.esri.com/EFTClient and neither are working. Has the password changed? Thanks for any assistance.
