Downloading

The files are named by the North West corner having the following syntax:

 NXXWYYY.zip
  
 where XX = the latiude in degrees and YYY = longitude in degrees 

The files are available in two resolutions:

1" GridFloat files (covers North America):

ftp://rockyftp.cr.usgs.gov/vdelivery/Datasets/Staged/NED/1/GridFloat/
