I need to download around 200 FTP files from NCBI website.
I have a linux sytem which throws an error “Connection timed out” while using wget. I think this error would be due to administrative privileges.
So, I am have switched to Windows7. Could anyone suggest me a way to download all the FTPs in a go?
Answer
Wget is for downloading web pages, do you mean mget? If you’re getting Connection Timed out I wouldn’t think that would be due to permissions.
mget should work in the Windows 7 built-in command line FTP client or you could try using a client like WinSCP, this has a GUI so you can select a bunch of files and drag to download.
