Download using ftp

The BioImage Archive FTP path is ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies. Anonymous downloads are enabled. For each study, you can click on the FTP button to access it. You can also use your favourite FTP client such as FileZilla to download a study from ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/mode/path, where:

  • <mode> is the storage mode and can be either fire or nfs
  • <path> is the path of the accession as described above

All data files for a study are in the ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/mode/path/Files directory, e.g., to download the file STAN0B0F6_2022-02-25.tiff from S-BIAD570, you can use the command line

$ wget ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/fire/S-BIAD/570/S-BIAD570/Files/STAN0B0F6_2022-02-25.tiff 

or, for interactive access:

$ ftp ftp.ebi.ac.uk Name: anonymous ftp> cd biostudies/fire/S-BIAD/570/S-BIAD570/Files/ ftp> get STAN0B0F6_2022-02-25.tiff 

You can get the FTP link for a study from the /info REST API endpoint, e.g.,

$ curl https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/api/v1/studies/S-BIAD570/info -s | jq -r .ftpLink
