SFTP Upload

1. Login to your local HPC/cloud environment/wherever the data files live

2. Move all files you want to upload into a single directory

3. Follow commands as listed below

sftp [e-mail]:staging
##you will be prompted to enter your password

Now you have an ftp session open on fair.mit.edu. You can run help to get a list of commands.

Once you are logged in, you will run this command to upload your files

##For a directory: The -R is recursive and * is a wildcard that includes all files in that associated folder
put -R /path/on/local/machine/* staging/
##For a single file
put /path/on/local/machine/file.fastq.gz staging/

To run it all in one command:

sftp [e-mail]:staging <<< $'put -R /path/on/local/machine/*'
##replace username and /path/on/local/machine
##enter in your password after running the command

Example of how to upload a folder of files. replace /home/asoberan/files/ with the directory you want to upload

Any questions or issues: [e-mail]

After uploading, reach out to the Data Management team. Reminder, before data is available for download, metadata will need to be uploaded to SEEK.
