THX for comments. It works now and I get a folder called cgenff-2b7.ff 
like what we seen in the share/top folder for other FF.


that's too complicated to real use. Initially,  I thought that the 
output for the ligand should be a single .itp file like what we found in 
Swissparam.

Probably one can consider improve this script. As far as I know the 
CGenFF website can export full parameters for the ligand even it is 
already exist in CGenFF off line files. In this cases, the output file 
fro CGenFF website is independent from the offline FF and it already has 
complete necessary information for paramters and topology). Probably one 
can consider improve this script and export the output file as a single 
.itp file.
