    Hi Marc

    Unfortunately I still have an issue with updating the databases. Our new IT head agreed to allow using the FTP connection to NCBI but somehow I can only access it through the ip address ftp://130.14.250.12/ and not throut the domain addreess ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

    The update module uses the link to the site. I tried to look in the source of the module to see where I could exchange the link but did not find it.

    Any idea on how I could get around it (besides manually updating the database).

    Thanks

    Danny

      Hi Danny,
      this is not entirely trivial, as the ncbi address is not only used for
      e-tools, but also to download genome sequences via ftp. The URL for the
      location of the genome file on the NCBI ftp site is parsed from the
      e-utils output and includes "ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov".
      "ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov" is not present in the metawatt code anywhere...
      I'm not sure I want to start tinkering with that.
      Best wishes,
      Marc
