Change of ENA release FTP location in September 2014
The FTP location and directory structure of the ENA release will change in September 2014. The new FTP location is already available at:
Starting from March 2014 (release 119) onwards the release of assembled/annotated sequences from the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) is available both in a new FTP location:
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/ena/sequence/release
as well as in the old FTP location:
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/embl/release
The directory structure in the new FTP location is slightly different from the old FTP location.
Starting from September 2014 (release 121) onwards the old FTP location will be symlinked to the new FTP location. Consequently, in September 2014 the directory structure in the old FTP location will change to match the one in the new FTP location.
In the new FTP location, documents and auxiliary files are made available in a separate sub-directory:
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/ena/sequence/release/doc
The CON (constructed) and STD (standard) sequences will also be in separate sub-directories:
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/ena/sequence/release/con
ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/ena/sequence/release/std
If you have any questions or concerns about the change please do not hesitate to contact datasubs@ebi.ac.uk.
