[ecco-support] Error "HTTP Basic: Access denied" when downloading ECCO data sets

[Lukas Fiedler]

Dear ECCO support team,

I am sorry if this message is posted to a wrong place and/or wrong audience.

My name is Lukas and I am a graduate student at the University of 
Hamburg, Germany. I am working on the Indian Ocean and its heat budget 
throughout the last decades in particular. I wanted to incorporate the 
ECCO estimates into my analysis but until now I am facing an error when 
trying to download the desired data sets from the repository.

I followed the step-by-step instruction provided on GitHub but wasn't 
able to successfully download any data set until now. Everytime, the 
raised error is saying "HTTP Basic: Access denied". I double-checked my 
registration with NASA Earthdata to confirm that I own a valid account 
but still raised the above error.

I would be so glad if you could help my out with this issue and tell me 
where I am going wrong at the moment. I am so curious to work with ECCO 
data sets and add the outcome to my analysis.

Thank you so much in advance.

Kind regards,
Lukas Fiedler
