FTP upload

Open habi opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

Sharing/Uploadin large (tomographic) datasets with tons of single files would be much more convenient if you could implement direct FTP access. Uploading 10000 files via the web interface is quite cumbersome.

I'm trying to upload the reconstructed slices of two tomographic datasets to https://osf.io/2c59z/wiki/home/, BTW.

Thank you for the suggestion! We don't currently have FTP on our upcoming release schedule, but we do have a couple of potential options. The first is that you could save your data to a dropbox, connect that to the OSF, then copy the data over from Dropbox to OSF storage. If you put things in a folder, then moving the folder from Dropbox to OSF Storage should be fairly quick and easy.

Another is to use our REST API to copy the files over programmatically.
