NCBI FTP Server?

[kasthuri]

Do anyone here have trouble accessing NCBI FTP server for VCF files? The below link given in their site does not work.

ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/snp/organisms/human_9606/VCF

I need hg19.vcf or 00-All.vcf.gz which was supposed to be at:

ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/organ.../00-All.vcf.gz

Can anyone let me know where to get this file?

Thanks

Maybe their servers are down. The full command didn't work for me, but what you can do is go type:

ftp ftp.ncbi.nih.gov

, And then just follow the path to the directory you specified by:


cd <dir_name>

Then use:

> get <file_name>.gz

My internet connection is bad right now, so it's taking a while, but maybe yours is better and so it might work.

I wrote to them and it looks like I am to reach from the MAC Finders 'Connect to Server' but not through any browser. I thank you for trying.

Maybe it was a temporary problem? The .gz file is there, and can be downloaded from a browser (tried Firefox).

Hi,

It is working now, I believe. I could get to the directory in firefox and read the readme file.
