| − | For accessing the Swestore national storage, we use (since Nov 2013 iRODS, and more specifically the iRODS client 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" (plus some more, but those are the ones you need most).

| − | | |
| − | Note that data put on Swestore via iRODS is not accessible through other means.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Activate the iRODS icommands
| |
| − | The iRODS icommands client is activated through the module system, as so many other things on SNIC clusters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1. Log in to SNIC cluster<br>
| |
| − | 2. Execute:
| |
| − | | |
| − | module load irods
| |
| − | iinit
| |
| − | After activating the iRODS icommands, you will be placed in one of your projects. if you run "ils", you will then see a listing of files and folders in that project, 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 is not 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.
| |
| − | Read more info about the respective i-commands with "[command] -h"
