Answers.Text: Yes, this is the link in 1000G where I am looking ftp://ftp-trace.ncbi.nih.gov/1000genomes/ftp/data/. I am not able to see any SNP sequences here. Can you please provide me the exact link if possible.

Answers.Text: You are looking at alignments now, I guess you want the variants called already? Look for the VCF files, like [here](ftp://ftp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk/vol1/ftp/release/20130502/).

Answers.Text: Maybe you should start to read something about SNPs first, if you would know what the abbreviation SNP stands for, you would know they all have the same length of 1 nucleotide. Please read something about SNPs and next-generation sequencing first, this forum is not meant to repeat the basic information that is for example available on wiki or other websites.

  How can I retrieve only SNPs from the dbSNP's [FTP site](ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/.redesign/latest_release/JSON/). The files are gzipped and organized by human chromosome (i.e, chr[1-22,X,Y]), are these for one human? I need only SNPs data for various humans.

  If you mean that you want snps from individuals, instead of all together, you can find them in [1000 genomes](http://www.internationalgenome.org/data). Here different individuals from different populations are sequenced and variants are called, including snps.
  
  Maybe you should add to your question what your goal is, what would you like to find?
