This repository facilitates exchange of data between your filesystem and your user space at the BioImage Archive using the Rclone package.
Rclone package is available for Unix-like systems as well as Windows. So the examples given below can be run on the Unix shells as well as on the Windows CMD.
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Euro-BioImaging/Rclone-BIA.git
Then cd to the directory of the repository and create a conda environment with the Rclone package:
conda env create -f environment.yml
Then activate the environment
conda activate Rclone_BIA
To show the contents of your secret directory on BIA, specify the path to the new.rclone.conf
and replace <YOUR-SECRET-DIRECTORY> in the following command:
rclone --config /path/to/new.rclone.conf lsf ftp:/<YOUR-SECRET-DIRECTORY>
To upload a single file to your BIA user space:
rclone --config /path/to/new.rclone.conf copy /local/path/filename ftp:/<YOUR-SECRET-DIRECTORY>/remote/path/
(Note that here you should not specify the remote file name as it will be the same as in the local file.)
To upload a folder to your BIA user space:
rclone --config /path/to/new.rclone.conf sync /local/path/foldername ftp:/<YOUR-SECRET-DIRECTORY>/remote/path/foldername/
or
rclone --config /path/to/new.rclone.conf copy /local/path/foldername ftp:/<YOUR-SECRET-DIRECTORY>/remote/path/foldername/
(Note that in this case you should also include the folder name in the remote path)
To donwload a single file from your BIA user space:
rclone --config /path/to/new.rclone.conf copy ftp:/<YOUR-SECRET-DIRECTORY>/remote/path/filename /local/path
(Note that here you should not specify the file name as it will be the same as in the remote file.)
To download a folder from your BIA user space:
rclone --config /path/to/new.rclone.conf copy ftp:/<YOUR-SECRET-DIRECTORY>/remote/path/foldername /local/path/foldername \
To delete a file or folder from your BIA user space:
rclone --config /path/to/new.rclone.conf purge ftp:/<YOUR-SECRET-DIRECTORY>/remote/path/foldername \
