Hello there,
I'm trying to download all the bam & bam.bai files of ENCODE's CSHL long RNA seq data using Perl from the UCSC FTP server here
I tried downloading one cell line at a time initially, but its too painstaking.. If anyone could please suggest a way or if anybody already has got a Perl script for this, could you please share? I'd be umpty grateful!
Best, Vaish
Thanks for the response. Please pardon my naivety, but what exactly do you mean by downloading in a server?
You might want to download these BAM files to a different computer than you are sitting at. For instance, you might be on a laptop, but you have some "big iron" machine you wan to use to process the data sitting somewhere else that you might be ssh'd into.
Thanks for clearing that up. I would go for the more straightforward download them and all sundry option. I'm just stepping into the informatics world by learning one tech word a time.
Is this fast? Because I tried the download all option, It was going to take a long time to download. Its a great way to do it, but if this method is faster, I would like to switch this..
