[ensembl-dev] Get ftp url + path from a species name

[Celine Noirot]

Hi,
I'm trying to get the path to download the protein sequence from a 
species name, but I don't know if the species is in ensembl, plant, 
bacteria or else ...
Does there is a way with the API to get from the species name the ftp 
url and the path to the current version ?
Best,
Céline
