\title{Get file size and date from NCBI ftp site for available sra or sra-lite data files associated with input SRA accessions}
\description{
This function will get sra or sra-lite data file size and date from NCBI ftp site associated with input SRA accessions
}
\usage{
getSRAinfo(in_acc, sra_con, sraType='litesra')
}
\arguments{
  \item{in_acc}{
character vector of SRA accessions and should be of same SRA data type, either one of SRA  submission, SRA study, SRA  sample, SRA  experiment and SRA  run
}
  \item{sra_con}{
Connection to the SRAmetadb SQLite database
}
  \item{sraType}{
types of SRA data files, which should be 'sra' or 'litesra'.
}
}
\details{
The function will convert all input SRA accessions to SRA experiment and run accessions and get sra or sra-lite data file size and date from NCBI SRA ftp sites. 
}
\value{
A data.frame containing NCBI ftp addresses to the SRA data files,  and size and date along with input SRA accessions.
