SFTP with FileZilla

FileZilla is a graphical file transfer tool that runs on Windows, OSX, and Linux. It is great when needing to do bulk transfers as all transfers are added to a queue and processed in the background. It is possible to browse your files on the Partek Flow server while transfers are active. This is also the best solution when you are not on a computer with command line access or you are uncomfortable with command line operations.

...

With rsync, don't forget the trailing '/' on directory names.

Before moving the files, we strongly advise you to use FileZilla to explore the directory structure of the Partek server and then create a new directory to transfer the files to.

Points of Caution

  • When you delete files from the Partek Flow server they are gone and can not be recovered.

  • Please use Partek Flow to delete projects and results. Manually removing data using SFTP could break your server.

  • Wait until ALL input data for a particular project has been transferred to the Partek Flow server before importing data via Partek Flow. If you try to import samples while the upload is occurring the import job will crash.

  • When upload raw data to Partek hosted Flow server, we recommend to a create subfolder for each experiment at the same level of "FlowData" folder or inside "FlowData" folder.
