R help - Oct 2007 - how to download pdb structure files?

Dear All,

I'd like to know if there is anyway to download a certain structure file
from http://www.pdb.org/. I tried the following but failed:

tmp <-
download.file(url="ftp://ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/data/structures/all/pdb",
destfile="pdb100d.ent.gz")

trying URL 'ftp://ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/data/structures/all/pdb'
Error in download.file(url =
"ftp://ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/data/structures/all/pdb",  :
        cannot open URL
'ftp://ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/data/structures/all/pdb'

Any tips to fix it please? Thanks in advance.

Best,
Baoqiang

  I don't know that this is possible within R.  I would try obtaining wget
and using
wget -r to fetch the files ...
