Upload onto CIRM-01

For CIRM groups

Ask your UCSC wrangler contact person to set you up with a username and password for the cirmdcm.soe.ucsc.edu sftp upload
Use an sftp command line client like lftp or simply sftp and connect to sftp://cirmdcm.soe.ucsc.edu, port 6789, using this username
- the "sftp" command is good for basic sftp transfer program of a few files and is installed on most servers and all Mac computers. lftp is using concurrent connections and can be up to 10-20x faster. Lftp is also better in restarting or updating old uploads.
- see below for examples
If you're unsure which program to use, a good choice is CyberDuck on MacOS, see image below on how to connect using CyberDuck
Once you're done with the upload, let your wrangler know

Example command line tool "sftp", usually installed on most linuxes and osx, to upload the current directory and all subdirectories:

   $ sftp -P 6789 maxSftp@cirmdcm.soe.ucsc.edu
   sftp> put -r *

Example command line tool "lftp", upload current directory and all subdirectories with 10 concurrent connections ("threads"):

   $ lftp sftp://myUsername@cirmdcm.soe.ucsc.edu:6789
   > mirror -R --parallel=10

-R stands for "reverse", a reverse mirror is lftp-speak for "upload".

Example graphical user interface, Cyberduck on Mac OSX:

On cirm01, create the user:

   sudo /data/create-user username

To change password of user:

   sudo /data/change-password username

The new user is created with their homedir as:

   /data/sftp/user/incoming

You have read access to those directories.
