RDSS / Myriad Data Storage Transfer Service

This guide outlines shows how to transfer data between RDSS and Myriad.

Before you start...

This is a first iteration of the service and there are further improvements that can be made as the usage of the service grows.
Please be aware there may be some slower transfer speeds as more users make use of the service. We will be monitoring it and improving the service as required.
Data transfers can be done in either direction using cp or mv commands as you would normally on any Linux system
We suggest using cp rather than mv to make sure there is a copy on the original storage as RDSS is backed up.

Login into myriad
ssh username@myriad.rc.ucl.ac.uk
Once you have logged in to myriad you then need to ssh to the transfer02 node
ssh username@transfer02
The RDSS is mounted on /rdss, and accessed in the same way as through ssh access on the RDSS. Myriad's storage is mounted in the normal location. Please see an example of changing directory to a RDSS project below. You can find the correct path to your project by visiting the web admin portal and looking up project and finding the information under "Location of your storage area"
cd /rdss/rd01/ritd-ag-rd01234-test
