I had this same issue (and asked myself why anyone would use this over rsync), and then found the answer. It is extremely non-intuitive, but you must download the Aspera Connect browser plugin, and the CLI utility ascp is included in that package. If you still have issues, I have it in my Dropbox. Update: Aspera now maintains this shell script as a separate file. Using aspera connect in our university linux cluster but when I try ascp'ing it asks me for a password, do you know if there is a guest password or I should write to the sra email sra@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov. Also is there a way to recursively download all the files directly? I was ascp'ing them one by one, would the following command work? .Aspera Connect Mac.Aspera Connect Free For Macbook.Aspera Connect Free For Macbook Pro.Aspera Connect Download Mac This content applies to Windows Virtua.

The dataformat
command-line tool is used to convert metadata downloaded from NCBI Datasets from JSON lines format to other formats.
Both datasets
and dataformat
command-line tools are currently in alpha and will be updated frequently to add new features, fix bugs, and enhance usability. Command syntax is subject to frequent changes. Please check this page often for updates.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have recently added new functionality to allow retrieval of SARS-CoV-2 genome and protein datasets.
