Before Getting Started
There are three main ways to transfer data to and from Yoda. Note that creating a data access password is necessary to transfer data from and to Yoda.
You can transfer files to and from Yoda dependent on the size and number of files:
- For small amounts of data (typically up to 10GB, up to 100 files) you can upload files via the Drag & Drop via de Yoda Portal.
- For larger amounts of data (typically up to 100GB, up to 1000 files) it is better to use the WebDAV interface.
- For very large amounts of data you can connect directly to iRODS.
For practical tips on working with your data, check the Analysing Data page.
Access via WebDAV
There are several methods to access Yoda data via WebDAV, they depend on the Operating System you are using:
Access via iRODS
For transferring large amounts of data (>100GB) consider using direct access to iRODS. A direct iRODS connection offers better performance by enabling multi-threaded transfers and the option to compare checksums.
Power users who are comfortable with command line tools can use the iRODS iCommands to interact with the iRODS backend of Yoda directly. If iCommands are not available on your OS, Gocommands can be used as an alternative.
