  (Asked by: username_0 on 2019-11-08)
  
  I'm trying to download the 1000 Genomes (phase 3) through FTP, but it's taking ages.
  I saw [the documentation](https://www.internationalgenome.org/faq/how-download-files-using-aspera) about using Aspera (fasp protocol), but the instructions don't work: `ERR [ascp] SSH authentication failed`.
  Eg:
  
  ```
  ascp -i /home/ibmuser/.aspera/connect/etc/asperaweb_id_dsa.putty -Tr -Q -l 100M \
       -P33001 -L- fasp-g1k@fasp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk:vol1/ftp/release/20130502/ALL.chr1.phase3_shapeit2_mvncall_integrated_v5a.20130502.genotypes.vcf.gz.tbi ./
  
  ```
  
  Via Aspera Desktop client I got:
  `SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT: 2 Too many authentication failures`
  
  Thanks!

  You are using the command for older versions. In the page you link to, they give two commands, one for the newer and one for the older versions of aspera. You are using the one for the older. The only difference is the keyfile, but what you want is:
  
  ```
  ascp -i /home/ibmuser/.aspera/connect/etc/asperaweb_id_dsa.openssh -Tr -Q -l 100M \
   -P33001 -L- fasp-g1k@fasp.1000genomes.ebi.ac.uk:vol1/ftp/release/20130502/ALL.chr1.phase3_shapeit2_mvncall_integrated_v5a.20130502.genotypes.vcf.gz.tbi ./
  
  ```
  
  At least, I just tried this a second ago with the aspera bundle I downloaded today and that's the command that worked: `asperaweb_id_dsa.openssh` and not `asperaweb_id_dsa.putty`.
