This download method is not recommended if you plan to download a large file or multiple files from a single directory compared to rsync (see above). You can, however, use the mget command to download multiple files: mget filename1 filename2, or mget -a (to download all the files in the directory).

Types of data available

There may be several download directories associated with each version of a genome assembly: the full data set (bigZips), the full data set by chromosome (chromosome), the annotation database tables (database), and one or more sets of comparative cross-species alignments.

BigZips contains the entire draft of the genome in chromosome and/or contig form. Depending on the genome, this directory may contain some or all of the following files:
