I've been working on this code for a while now, basically I need to read the files from this directory, but I keep getting an error "cannot open the connection", please help me to see which part went wrong?
Hope this code doesn't confuse you much, really wanted to figure out how to get all the files end with .M files(.M09 or .M10) from the above link, if you have better ideas of achieving that, please help, thank you.
file.path.in <- file.path("C:", "Users", "agclim", "GAData", fsep=.Platform$file.sep); # Windows
file.extension <- c("(\\.M\\d{2})");
filename.in.all <- list.files(file.path.in, pattern=paste(file.extension,"+$",sep=""), full.names=FALSE);
filename.in.all <- sort(filename.in.all, decreasing=FALSE);
library("gdata");
for (i.in in 1:length(filename.in.all)) {
cat(paste("The data in the",filename.in.all[i.in],"file are processing now.", sep=" "), "\n");
url.conn.server <- url(file.path("ftp://agrofawn-prod01.osg.ufl.edu","pub", "howard","georgia",filename.in.all[i.in],fsep=.Platform$file.sep), open="r", blocking=TRUE, encoding=getOption("encoding"));
data.01 <- readLines(url.conn.server, n=-1, ok=TRUE);
unlink(url.conn.server);
close(url.conn.server);
}
