This is a recurrent problem in every release for all species pages: the GVF - VCF - VEP links trigger a 505 error (Failed to change directory).  

Failing URLs take the form:

ftp://ftp.gramene.org/pub/gramene/release-45/vcf/zea_mays/
(substitute for gvf or the vep compressed file name)

Since we only have VCFs for rice & wheat that will be made available on the browser & Mart in b45:
ftp://ftp.gramene.org/pub/gramene/release45/data/vcf/

We should really be pointing to the corresponding ftp on EG. Example:

ftp://ftp.ensemblgenomes.org/pub/plants/release-26/vcf/zea_mays/

Here is the summary FTP page at EG:

Thanks,
