mocftp - Download MOC images or MOLA pedr data
This procedure calls 'mocftp.pl' to download MOC images and
MOLA pedr files from PDS CDROM's available on the
Imaging Node web site located at URL
http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu
The input list (FROMLIST) can be generated by the 'mocsearch'
or 'molasearch' procedures for finding and locating files of
interest.

**The desired images must have the FULL ftp path**

Output files:  PDS MOC images and MOLA pedrs downloaded
               onto current working directory.  The files will
               have a .img or .imq file extention for MOC images
               and .b for MOLA pedrs.  Refer to 'moclev0' for
               details on converting to ISIS format.

ParmDescription
FROMLIST
The input list (FROMLIST) can be generated by the
'mocsearch' or 'molasearch' procedures for finding
and locating data of interest. Consult the help for
these procedures for more information.

**The desired images must have the FULL ftp path**

Available in ISIS is $ISISMGSDATA/cumindex.tab, which was
retrieved from the PDS CD-ROM volume (MGSC_1234).  The
information in this table file covers CD-ROM volumes
(MGSC_0001 to MGSC_1234).  In order to use the most recent
information supplied by PDS, the user can retrieve the
cumindex.tab off the latest distributed CR-ROM and set the
IMGINDX parameter in 'mocsearch' to that file.
URL
The user can specify an alternate url address for downloading
the data from the fromlist. The default for the download site
for MOC & MOLA is "ftp://ida2.wr.usgs.gov/".

A second site for obtaining MOC SDP is:

A second site for obtaining MOLA PEDR is:
