Downloading with Aspera

Question

[FRANCESCA]

Hi, I'm trying to download gvcf from 1000 genomes with aspera, but I have the following problem... I enter the following command (on windows):

ascp -i C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspera\Aspera Connect\etc\asperaweb_id_dsa.openssh; -Tr -Q -l 100M -
P33001 -L- [e-mail]:vol1/ftp/release/20100804/ALL.2of4intersection.20100804.genotypes.vcf.gz
bash: syntax error near unexpected token '('

Thanks!

It is a problem of unescaped whitespaces, you have to quote it: https://superuser.com/questions/279008/how-do-i-escape-spaces-in-command-line-in-windows-without-using-quotation-marks

ascp -i "C:\Program Files (x86)\Aspera\Aspera Connect\etc\asperaweb_id_dsa.openssh" -Tr -Q -l 10 (...)

something like this probably.

But now Iappears: ascp.exe: no remote host specified Should be placed at the end: local/target/directory?

Yes.
