[Bioperl-l] ftp site down?

[Chris Dagdigian]

Hi Kurt,

We have an upstream router ACL issue that for security reasons will not 
pass the wide range of ports that passive FTP makes use of. We've mapped 
our FTP root onto our webserver so we can serve up the same files via http.

Change ftp:// to http:// and you should be fine.

Regards,
Chris
