Hello,
on the page "National Transformation Coordinate Conversions" under the
link "https://a100.gov.bc.ca/pub/mascotw/protected/convert.html" the
NTv2 files available for British Columbia are listed for download via
FTP. After accepting the Terms of Use and returning to MASCOTW
unfortunately, despite all my efforts, I was not able to download NTv2
files there. Could one please send me the NTv2 file BC_98_05.gsb by
email info@killetsoft.de as a ZIP file? Thank you for you help.
Kind regards, Fred

Did you try using an ftp program to grab the file (Such as Filezilla).

Yes, I tried Filezilla, but it did not work. May be I need some
parameters therefore.

Open source-code (Ctrl+U or Right Mouse Button -> View source code),
find a file link, copy it, paste and open it in a new tab.

IMHO, the FTP server is just down. Any connection attempt times out and
a ping to the server comes back empty, as well. FWIW, the links (if the
server starts to work, again, at some time) can be found further down.
Maybe try the email contact listed at the end?

Apart from this, you probably know about the central Canadian open GIS
data website? After (free) registration you get access to NTv2 binary transformation files for several regions (including BC):

https://webapp.csrs-scrs.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/geod/data-donnees/transformations.php

But the file BC_98_05.gsb isn't included, over there. Probably it would
be best to ask their webmaster/support about this. Maybe, there is sth.
wrong with that transformation file and it therefore is excluded from download?

Another Canadian open data site comes back with even less results:

National Transformation Coordinate Conversions ==============================================

The official software for conversion of coordinates from NAD27 to various versions of NAD83 or conversion between NAD83 versions (latitude/longitude
or UTM) in British Columbia is called the National Transformation Version
2.0 (NTv2.0).

The Canada-wide software was developed by the Federal Geodetic Survey
Division in cooperation with the provinces. For a web application visit https://webapp.csrs-scrs.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/geod/tools-outils/ntv2.php
and to download a desktop application visit

https://webapp.csrs-scrs.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/geod/tools-outils/applications.php*ntv2

Please refer to the ftp://ftp.gdbc.gov.bc.ca/sections/outgoing/gsr/NTv2.0/Disclaimer.txt
file before proceeding. By continuing you have implicitly agreed to the disclaimer.

ftp://ftp.gdbc.gov.bc.ca/sections/outgoing/gsr/NTv2.0/ReadMe.doc
Read Me in order to determine which transformation(s) you require.
Also the files
ftp://ftp.gdbc.gov.bc.ca/sections/outgoing/gsr/NTv2.0/Naming.txt
and
ftp://ftp.gdbc.gov.bc.ca/sections/outgoing/gsr/NTv2.0/Numbering.doc
list equivalent naming and numbering schemes used for the various NAD83 re-adjustment versions.

IMPORTANT - When performing transformations on Vancouver Island please refer
to the file ftp://ftp.gdbc.gov.bc.ca/sections/outgoing/gsr/NTv2.0/NVI-CRDwarning.doc


The following Transformations can be performed by downloading the
appropriate Binary Grid Shift file (.GSB) listed below for use / input
to the NTv2 software:

Hello Bernd,
thanks for your effort.
I also think that the FTP server is not working. I have already written
to the geodesists of British Columbia and MASCOT, but unfortunately I
have not received a reply.
I have also visited the central Canadian open GIS data website, but have
not found the BC_98_05.gsb file there.
Maybe there is someone who can send me the file?
Kind regards, Fred
