Hi, I don't know which files (dates/tiles) you are looking for but in:
ftp://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov/MOLT/MOD15A2.005/2000.05.24/ there are hdf
files?
try run:
library(getMODIS)
x <-
getHDF(product="MxD15A2",tileH=19,tileV=4,startdate="2005.01.01",enddate="2005.02.01")
x
 
(In ftp folders sometimes there are missing or double hdf files (same
tile/date, other processing dates)...I think they are corrected in the
weekly server maintenance.)
 
Note: Scheduled downtime every Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Central
time.
 
I hope it helps.
Matteo

  Dear Matteo, dear Barak and dear R-colleagues,

  I am trying to use the scripts, but I am facing troubles to find the
products I need - LAI (MOD15A2) and GPP (MOD17A2).

  At the "ftp://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov" repository, subdirectories
/MOLT/MOD15A2.005/date and /MOLT/MOD17A2.005/date only show me .jpg
files. No HDF images are available.

  Is there any trick to access the images or am I using the wrong url?

  Thanks in advance and best wishes,

  Thiago.
