Hello!
I'm new to Bioinformatics, can someone reference me to an ftp page or link where I can download a file to map all my entrez ID's to entrez Symbols?
I'm sorry if this possibly is a copy post. Thanks!

HGNC gene mart... I assume you meant Entrez Ids to Gene Symbols.
http://biomart.genenames.org/martform/#!/default/HGNC?datasets=hgnc_gene_mart
Orelse you might find information in the following file (For all species),
ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/DATA/gene_info.gz
===========================================================================
gene_info recalculated daily
tab-delimited
one line per GeneID
Column header line is the first line in the file.
Note: subsets of gene_info are available in the DATA/GENE_INFO
directory (described later)
tax_id: the unique identifier provided by NCBI Taxonomy for the species or strain/isolate
GeneID: the unique identifier for a gene ASN1: geneid
Symbol: the default symbol for the gene ASN1: gene->locus
Synonyms: bar-delimited set of unofficial symbols for the gene
Complete information about the file contents

Have you tried batch queries on the NCBI site ?
