Hi,

Description: Unable to connect to KEGG FTP: 450 /pub/kegg/genes/organisms/sce/: No such file or directory

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/

sounds like is today is the original poster's lucky day

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.
