If a web-based application or command line options are not a fit for your workflow, desktop clients are another option to transfer data. While these options are not ARCC provided tools, we have tested many of them and can provide some support for users of them. Clients that ARCC have tested are MobaXTerm, Cyberduck, and Cloudberry (MSP 360 explorer), but for this modulesection of the workshop, we will only use Cyberduck in our examples due to it being available for Windows and Mac operating systems. Before getting into the use of Cyberduck, understanding of transfer protocols is key to the use of these tools and will be discussed first.

...

• MobaXTerm - is a Windows only client that can be used for ssh logins as well as many other protocols, but is also an excellent SFTP client.

• Cyberduck - is another client that can be used by Windows and Mac, that we frequently use for working with data on our Pathfinder system due to how well it works with the S3 protocol, but can use many other protocols

• Cloudberry - is another Windows and Mac client that can use the S3 protocol, but requires a license to take advantage of it’s full functionality.

Connecting to MedicineBow with a Client

...

Once SFTP is connected (Cyberduck in this example) you will be connected to your home directory on MedicineBow From here you can navigate to anywhere that you have access to. To transfer a file you can click the upload icon, or simply “drag and drop” a file from your computer

Info After hitting “connect”, you will be asked to allow the connection

The process is similar for using Pathfinder, but will use the S3 protocol and accesskey/secretkey combo instead of a username, password, ssh key for MedicineBow.
