How to transfer files from fileboxes

File Boxes (https://file-exchange.bihealth.org/) provide encrypted transfer of  big files. Multiple routes of access are available (https://bihealth.github.io/bih-cluster/how-to/service/file-exchange). You can log in with your Charite (user@CHARITE) or MDC account (user@MDC-BERLIN) to access it.

Access via command line

Download a file via one file url using wget

wget --user=user@MDC-BERLIN --ask-password  url

Example:

wget --user=johnc@MDC-BERLIN --ask-password  https://file-exchange.bihealth.org/c31121dd-bf66-4248-ac67-c9ab8f18ca84/P12341S1L001R1_001.fastq.gz 

Download many *..gz files using a filebox url using wget

wget -rnd -np --user=user@MDC-BERLIN --ask-password -A '*.gz' url

Example:

wget -rnd -np --user=johnc@MDC-BERLIN --ask-password -A '*.gz' https://file-exchange.bihealth.org/de971ejlkjsi96-4aaf-ae85-c92e6fff38e6/
