If you use large numbers of threads you will compromise your own computer as well as perhaps the server. Use carefully, starting with perhaps 2 parallel transfers and generally not more than 4. If your sFTP client supports parallel transfers, it has some advantage for big downloads. GUI clients often support drag and drop or have a button to transfer selected items from local to remove and remote to local.Command-line clients generally use get/put commands (get -r and put -r to work recursively).The workflow for uploading and downloading data will depend on the sFTP client that you are using The /Volumes directory on the Mediaflux server will list all projects, but you will only be able to access your own projects, and you may see an error if trying to list a project that you don't have access to. This complements being able to upload into Mediaflux via an sFTP client. There are also ports of this functionality to both Windows and macOS though they don't ship with it out of the box.įinally, we have also made available the ability to download from an sFTP server directly into Mediaflux via the web-based Desktop interface. But this can be a convenient way of accessing your files under certain circumstances.Īn example of an SSHFS client is GNOME Files on Linux (see the example below). Be aware that there are certain performance penalties to doing this, so if you can mount using one of the other protocols available such as SMB then you should probably do so.

It is also possible to mount mediaflux as a network share using an SSHFS client over the SFTP protocol. It is also common for Unix-based systems to provide a command-line sFTP tool. WinSCP also works well on Windows (you must use it with the sFTP protocol - it does support other protocols like SCP but Mediaflux does not).Filezilla is recommended for all desktop platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux).sFTP encrypts data during transmission and some clients (usually the graphical ones) can transfer data in parallel. Mediaflux supports the sFTP (secure File Transfer Protocol) and so you can use standard sFTP clients to upload and download data to and from Mediaflux.
