| Introduction of the SADIS FTP Service |
The SADIS FTP service became operational in July 2005. This service is provided by the United Kingdom Met Office, and is available to all approved SADIS and ISCS recipients. This service provides users with an alternative, high quality internet-based mechanism for receiving WAFS and OPMET data. The SADIS FTP Service is an ICAO-approved distribution system and an integral part of the SADIS service.
For user information about the SADIS FTP service (including authorisation process, log-in procedure and products available) please go the SADIS Operations Group home page, and click on 'SADIS FTP Service' link.
A significant number of enhancements to the SADIS FTP service are planned over the next few years, as authorised through the ICAO SADIS Operations Group (SADISOPSG) and ICAO SADIS Cost Allocation Group (SCRAG). These enhancements build on the high levels of IT security and resilience currently available to users, and also address the issues of non-repudiation (i.e. proof that the data distributed have originated from WAFC London).
Background to the planned enhancements to the SADIS FTP Service is available via the following links:
