About the Webinar
With capabilities to manage all your data throughout the research cycle and data storage options with your account, keeping all your data in CyVerse makes sense.
However, moving large amounts of data can be daunting. For flexible and easy control of your data transfers in and out of CyVerse, you can use iCommands, a collection of command line tools developed by iRODS, the technology underlying the Data Store. In this webinar, CyVerse Co-PI Eric Lyons will show you some tips and tricks for the most reliable data transfers, starting with reviewing some Unix basics and how to use iCommands for tasks such as up/downloading from your local computer to the Data Store and managing directories. Attendees will need to have access to a Linux command line prompt and have installed iCommands, but even if you're not yet adept at the command line, understanding proper data management basics through this webinar is a good start.
What You'll Learn
- Some basics of Unix code and what iCommands are
- How to use iCommands at the command line for transferring big datasets and managing directories
- Tips and best practices to successfully transfer large datasets
User Experience Level
- Novice+ (some command line experience needed)
