How do I access Swarm data?

Swarm data can be accessed via the Swarm Dissemination Server.

To access the Swarm Dissemination Server, please register an ESA EO Sign-in account.

Once registered, you can log into the Swarm Dissemination Server using the account you created.

If you wish to download Swarm data via FTP, using Filezilla as an example, set the encryption to 'Use explicit FTP over TLS if available'.

 

For command-line FTP access, use LFTP with the command:

# lftp -u <email>-e "set ftp:ssl-auth TLS;set ftp:passive-mode true" swarm-diss.eo.esa.int

Where <email> is the name of your EO Sign-In account.

If you encounter any issues related to SSL certificate recognition, you may need to bypass the certificate check with the command:

# lftp -u <email> -e "set ssl:verify-certificate no; set ftp:ssl-auth TLS;set ftp:passive-mode true" swarm-diss.eo.esa.int

For further assistance or questions, please contact the support team via ESA’s User Services Portal.
