Problems with SRA: "curl: (9) Server denied you to change to the given directory" #91

Closed gabrielhim closed 4 years ago

gabrielhim commented 5 years ago

Good evening, everyone.

Following instructions of the Biostar Handbook, I tried to download an SRA dataset through this command:

wonderdump -X 10000 --split-files SRR1972739

The file was not downloaded and I got the following message on my Windows Bash terminal:

curl: (9) Server denied you to change to the given directory

Does anyone know how to proceed in this situation? I have just started studying bioinformatics, I'm still learning the basic concepts and any observations you have would be welcome.

Thank you all!

There is no need to use wonderdump anymore.

All references to that program should be removed from the book, sorry if some are still there.

Use fastq-dump as for all other platforms.

Hi, Istvan! I'm actualy using an outdated version of the book. I switched to fastq-dump and it worked just fine. Thank you!
