why fastq-dump doesn`t work?
I am trying to convert .sra format to .fastq one but I faced with below error. I could do it before but it doesn`t work now!
It woks on other data like "SRR8502555.sra'' but for other ones does not work (I got these SRAs from dbGAP after filing related forms and getting permission).
:~$ /home/Softwar/sratoolkit.2.9.2-centos_linux64/bin/fastq-dump --gzip --split-files /home/Projects/Project_enhancer/ATAC_seq/Torre-Ubieta_2018_ATAC.seq/ATAC_seq_paired/data/SRR6208926.sra

Because
Projects/Project_enhancer/ATAC_seq/Torre-Ubieta_2018_ATAC.seq/ATAC_seq_paired/data/SRR6208926.srais not a valid path. Are you missing a leading/or is that directory under one where you are running this command from.Thanks for your reply. I run it one more time from first directory but I got with the same error.
For restricted data, you have to execute the command from within the directory that you specified in
vdb-config.you mean I should perform fastq-dump from usr/bin/
It would be the default import directory you chose when running
vdb-config. Did you use /usr/bin? That would be an odd choice.Yes I have done it and get this error:

No, please make a screenshort from
vdb-config -iand share it here.Link
Right, so go into the dbGaP folder, copy the SRAs to this one and start fastq-dump from there.
Great! It is working!! Thank you very much :).
