Dear r-help users, I have been trying to download files from this link ftp://ftp.bsrn.awi.de/tat/tat0100.dat.gz sinsce yesterday using download.file (which I use very often for such task) and unfortunately it did not work for me for this ftp site. I can manually download the files - but not with script with both R and python. Is there any tip for this ? Thank you in Advance and happy Friday. Alemu [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
