Downloading SRA Study using Aspera - Error

[carmeyeii]

Hi,

I've tried this in all the ways I can and I just can't seem to download this study using aspera. I've installed it correctly but something about what I'm giving it is not working. Can anybody help me out as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks a lot,
Carmen

This is the DATA I'm trying to get:

ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra...09%2FSRP009660

This is my command line:

carmen@genomics:~$ ascp -QTR -l640M -i ~/.aspera/connect/etc/asperaweb_id_dsa.putty [email protected]:/sra/sra-instant/reads/ByStudy/sra/SRP/SRP009/SRP009247

ascp: Source file list not specified, exiting.

I have removed the -i and it seems to work but now it asks for the password:

[email protected]'s password

This works for me:
/h1/finneyr/.aspera/connect/bin/ascp -QTr -l 400M -i /h1/finneyr/.aspera/connect/etc/asperaweb_id_dsa.putty [email protected]:/sra/sra-instant/reads/ByStudy/sra/SRP/SRP009/SRP009247 .


Try a dot at the end of the command.

Here's my session ...
/h1/finneyr/.aspera/connect/bin/ascp -QTr -l 400M -i /h1/finneyr/.aspera/connect/etc/asperaweb_id_dsa.putty [email protected]:/sra/sra-instant/reads/ByStudy/sra/SRP/SRP009/SRP009247 .

If aspera does not work, there's always FTP. You can also write a script using wget (which can use the ftp protocol , of course).

Hi,

Thanks for your help. I wasn't writing the dot . at the end, but now that I do, it still asks me for the password! :/
