FTP Download

You can download via a browser from our FTP site, use a script, or even use rsync from the command line.

Globus

For rapid bulk download of files, the Ensembl FTP site is available as an end point in the Globus Online system. In order to access the data you need to sign up for an account with Globus, install the Globus Connect Personal software and setup a personal endpoint to download the data. The Ensembl data is hosted at the EMBL-EBI end point called "EMBL-EBI Public Data". Data from the Ensembl FTP site can then be found under the "/ensemblorg/pub". You can also click here to open the target directory.
