Downloading Imagery Data What is in this directory Each image directory contains all of the images in the dataset, a metadata file, and an index shapefile that shows the location of each image in the dataset. Directories may contain over a thousand files, so users will generally want a mechanism that allows downloading in bulk. One option is Filezilla (https://filezilla-project.org/). The user would paste this link (ftp://coast.noaa.gov/pub/DigitalCoast/raster1/imagery/ for the raster1 disk,or ftp://coast.noaa.gov/pub/DigitalCoast/raster2/imagery/ for the raster2 disk) into the Host field and navigate to the desired directory. Displaying Imagery Data Some imagery viewers may apply a 2 standard deviation stretch on the imagery by default. This may result in urban features appearing bright or "washed out". Turning off the 2 standard deviation stretch should correct the problem. For More Information NOAA Office for Coastal Management (843) 740-1200 coast.info@noaa.gov
