Welcome to mirrors.vbi.vt.edu. Here you can access copies of various data and software repositories, through different protocols. Our mirrors are updated on average once a day, around 4:00AM EST. If you'd like to see additional sites mirrored, please contact mirrors@vbi.vt.edu
We recommend rsync for downloading data: it will allow you to synchronize files and directories with the least amount of data to download. To use it from a shell or script, you can use the following example syntax:
rsync --delete --delete-excluded -avPS mirrors.vbi.vt.edu::ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/genomes/Bacteria/ /destination/path
If you happen to be on the internal VBI network we also offer NFS and CIFS access to the mirrors:
NFS: mirrors.vbi.vt.edu:/mirrors
CIFS: \\mirrors.vbi.vt.edu\mirrors
