require downloading through your Web browser. If
you must (or prefer) to use ftp to download Sequin,
the information you need appears in the table

the install instructions for your platform, which
can be accessed from the links in the navigation
bar at left.
Notes
-
An ftp client is a
program that you use to transfer files between
computers using the ftp protocol. The UNIX
command-line program ftp
is a text-based ftp client. (This client is also
available on Windows and Macintosh OS X. ) FTP
clients that offer a graphical user interface are
available for most platforms. Instructions on how
to use the command-line version of ftp that is
available for Windows, Unix, Linux, and Macintosh
OS X can be found at
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/FTP.html.

Downloading through a Web browser is usually
easier than using an ftp client. Try clicking
the link for the file you want in the table
above. Most modern browsers handle ftp
downloads correctly. If you get no response or
an error message, see
Troubleshooting
before trying to use ftp directly.
-
Be sure that your ftp program is set up to do
binary transfers, not
text transfers.
-
If you are in an organization with a firewall,
you may want to try setting your ftp client to
passive mode (ask your
network administrator).
-
Instructions for
configuring your browser for passive ftp
mode:
-
-
Click here to see a
sample session with a command-line ftp client on
UNIX. User input is shown in
boldface. Note the use of the
bin and passive commands.
-
Not all ftp clients or browsers provide passive
mode.
-
Some ftp clients fail to show all of the files
in the NCBI ftp directory. If you can't find
the file you're looking for, get the file from
the most recent subdirectory of the ftp
directory sequin/old.
-
NCBI does not currently offer secure transfers
with sftp.
