Hello again Giorgio, The problem seems to be because of the way the url is formatted.
you have: ftp://[email protected]:[email protected]:port_number/User/my_lab/my_bedfile.bed The "@" is likely causing problems. Why this worked on Safari is a bit of a mystery, but following the specification is the better method anyway. Please note this section at the bottom of the Custom track submission form: If a login and password is required to access data loaded through a URL, this information can be included in the URL using the format protocol://user:[email protected]/somepath. Only Basic Authentication is supported for HTTP. Note that passwords included in URLs are not protected. If a password contains a non-alphanumeric character, such as @, the character must be replaced by the hexidecimal representation for that character. For example, in the password my...@wk, the @ character should be replaced by %40, resulting in the modified password mypwd%40wk. We definitely encourage keeping data local to your own server and using urls for custom tracks (including those in Sessions), especially for large custom tracks. I hope the answers this morning help to solve your current issues, but please feel free to get back to us if you need more assistance, Jennifer ------------------------------------------------ Jennifer Jackson UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group ----- "giorgio giurato" <[email protected]> wrote: > From: "giorgio giurato" <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Friday, January 15, 2010 7:11:00 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific > Subject: [Genome] Problem with ftp url > > Hi Genome Browser team. > I have decided to save the bed file in a mine ftp serve.
