Hi, I wanted to download a file and did the following: --------------------------------------------------------- > fileLink <- > 'ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/geo/DATA/supplementary/series/GSE1000/GSE1000_RAW.tar' > download.file(fileLink,'/geoDat') trying URL 'ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/geo/DATA/supplementary/series/GSE1000/GSE1000_RAW.tar' ftp data connection made, file length 35307520 bytes opened URL downloaded 34480Kb
> ------------------------------------------------------------ However, when I look in the destination directory ('/geoDat'), the file is not there (I also tried giving it the absolute path). What am I doing wrong? thanks! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
