Problems downloading data from FTP site

[mdr]

Thanks for your response Ken.  As for issue #2, the missing database dumps for
zea_mays, I am pretty sure that the data is not available on the FTP site.  

The .sql files are indeed present, as you pointed out:
zea_mays_core_30_bac22.sql    40364   
zea_mays_core_30_fpc22.sql    42360   

However, there are no data dumps, no files with -txt.tgz suffix.

The .sql files are only about 40K each and contain only the .sql statements
required to create the tables.  There are no actual data in those files.
Similarly, in the mysql-dumps directory, there are no zea_mays files at all.

So, if the zea_mays data really is available on the FTP site, I can't find it.
Am I looking in the wrong place?

Assuming it's actually not there, it would be great if it could be made
available sometime soon.  Do you guys have any idea when that could be done?

Thanks again!
