 | + | #REDIRECT[[Swestore iRODS is decommissioned]] | 
| − |   |  | 
| − | For accessing the SwestoreNational Storage, we use, since Nov 2013, iRODS. And more specifically the iRODSclient called "icommands", which is a set of commands similar to the unix commands "ls", "cd", "imkdir" etc, but with an "i" in front, plus two FTP-like commands: "iput" and "iget".
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − | The iRODS icommands client is loaded through the module system.
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  1. Log in to SNIC cluster
 |  | 
| − |  2. Execute:
 |  | 
| − |     module load irods 
 |  | 
| − |     iinit
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − | Now, your starting point is either your Swestore home directory or one of your projects. If you run "ils", you will then see a listing of files and folders in that directory, something like this:
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  [samuel@kalkyl4 ~]$ ils
 |  | 
| − |   /ssUppnexZone/proj/b2011221:
 |  | 
| − |     C- /ssUppnexZone/proj/b2011221/firstRun
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − | Navigate around
 |  | 
| − | To enter one of the (or the only) folder(s), do:
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  icd [proj-id]
 |  | 
| − | ... in this case:
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  icd firstrun
 |  | 
| − | To switch to another project, use
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  icd ..
 |  | 
| − | to back up a level. After that, you can change to another project or folder using icd as previously
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  icd b2011222
 |  | 
| − | Upload files
 |  | 
| − | To upload the above mentioned folder, do (-r is needed to recurse into directories):
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  iput -r [a local folder]
 |  | 
| − | For single files, the -r flag isnot needed:
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  iput [a local file]
 |  | 
| − | To list the newly uploaded file/directory:
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  ils
 |  | 
| − | To create folders, do:
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  imkdir [folder-name]
 |  | 
| − | If you want to verify the upload outside of iRODS, there's a utility called ssverify.sh that will let you do that.
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − | Downloading files
 |  | 
| − | To download a file again, do:
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  iget [a file in iRODS]
 |  | 
| − | ... or, for folders, do it recursively:
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − |  iget -r [a folder in iRODS]
 |  | 
| − | File removal
 |  | 
| − | To remove a file, you'll like need to use -f to irm in order to bypass the use of a trash area, which is currently not supported at Uppmax.
 |  | 
| − |   |  | 
| − | More hints
 |  | 
| − | You can have iput show the progress with the -P flag
 |  | 
| − | If you want to be placed in a particular directory when you load the irods module, you can create a file called
 |  | 
| − |  $HOME/.irods/.irodsEnv
 |  | 
| − | containing
 |  | 
| − |  irodsHome '/ssUppnexZone/proj/myproj'
 |  | 
| − |  irodsCwd '/ssUppnexZone/proj/myproj'
 |  | 
| − | where
 |  | 
| − |  myproj
 |  | 
| − | is replaced by your project id.
