Hi,
I am using the Gitools for analysis sequences and I try to import data with Kegg but It has erro.
Description: Unable to connect to KEGG FTP: 450 /pub/kegg/genes/organisms/sce/: No such file or directory
trace: org.gitools.modules.importer.ModulesImporterException: Unable to connect to KEGG FTP: 450 /pub/kegg/genes/organisms/sce/: No such file or directory
Has anyone seen that erro? would you pleseas show me how to solve this problem? Thanks a lot.

You might take a look here:

Just a guess, but it looks like Gitools might not have been updated to reflect the fact that KEGG has closed except to paid subscribers.
The importer has been fixed and a new version of Gitools has been released today!
Check it the blog post we released earlier today here: http://bg.upf.edu/blog/2012/02/gitools-database-importer-updates-kegg-and-ensembl/
finally s/he can get back to work ;-)
As Sean Davis told, KEGG ftp is for paid subscribers now.
Gitools needs to access the KEGG ftp to retrieve mappings between Ensembl gene id and KEGG gene id's.
I apologise for the inconvenience, but as soon as I know how to retrieve this information from other public source I will fix it.
