Off topic:pubmed open access subset ftp down?

Question

[asmi]

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me why is PubMed's Open Access subset ftp service down? ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc

Has PubMed just pulled the plug or is it just a temporary issue?

More: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/tools/ftp/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/tools/openftlist/

Alternatively, what can be done? Any pointers are helpful and would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Asmi H Shah. PhD
