David,

Can you capture a product at that point?  If I could get the product then
I could ftp it and use it as raw data test here. If the capture works with
the feedtest, then you would know that the stream/ldm is valid. Trying to
narrow down the problem.

I checked the code, it's looking for an AFOS header.  Not WMO


and it is calling the AFOS headers garbage. 

I think the LDM can't find the AFOS header, so it's complaining about
that.

What version of the LDM are you using? Latest is 5.0.6 What type of
machine/os is SAC?

  I'll do another search for

Usually  a site will have a "border machine" that will permit users from
outside the site to login. Then it's possible to login to an inside the
firewall machine from the border machine. Ask your system admin about it.
