how I can extract a specific gene from Genomes FTP site

hi,

in NCBI Genomes FTP site here is "viruses" folder, how I can download gbk (gene bank ) fille of all of these viruses? because manually it is impossible

ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/genomes/Viruses/

I used "Viruses"[PORG] AND srcdb_refseq[PROP] but the result contains each virus separately thank you

sequence genome virus ncbi

wget ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/genomes/Viruses/all.gbk.tar.gz

Be sure to read the README file in the parent directory to make sure that the Viruses directory contains what you think it contains.

sorry I downloaded the file, the file contains gene bank format of all viruses

how I can extract locus tag and the corresponding end...start for each virus?

for example

gene 12754..13161

                 /locus_tag="SMa0018"
