To do so: ftp hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu user name: anonymous password: go to the directory goldenPath/calJac1/phastCons9way To download multiple files from the UNIX command line, use the "mget" command. mget ... - or - mget -a (to download all the files in the directory) Use the "prompt" command to toggle the interactive mode if you do not want to be prompted for each file that you download. --------------------------------------------------------------- All the files in this directory are freely available for public use.
