makeTxDbFromBiomart cannot open URL

Hello, I am trying to make a Txdb-like object from Ensembl annotation of drerio_gene_ensembl but it throws that Error:

Error in download.file(url, destfile, method, quiet = TRUE) : 
  cannot open URL 'ftp://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-115/mysql/'

My code is:

txdb_ensembl <- makeTxDbFromBiomart(biomart="ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL",
                                 host="https://www.ensembl.org", dataset="drerio_gene_ensembl")

Has anyone encountered this problem yet?

Thank you very much!

database txdb biomart ensembl

https://ftp.ensembl.org/pub/release-115/mysql/ will work. Most websites have switched to using https over ftp for these kinds of data.

Are you using the latest version of BioMart?
