There are several options on how data can be transferred to/from the SCC. Below is a table that summarizes common data transfer tasks completed by researchers on the SCC and links to more detailed information on how to use a specific method.

Transferring Files Between Description
SCC <—-> Your Desktop To transfer files from your local machine to the SCC, there are three options:
SCC <—-> Cloud Service Provider
  • Rclone is a command line program to manage files on cloud storage. Add your cloud provider to your SCC account using the rclone module. Once added, you can move data between the SCC and your cloud using the OnDemand Files App.
  • Use the SCC Transfer Node to transfer data between the SCC and a web source or a cloud provider, such as AWS S3 Buckets or Google Drive. Some cloud based utilities are also available as modules to assist in the transfer of data between the SCC and cloud platforms.
SCC <—-> Another Institution Globus is a platform for managing file transfers between the SCC and other institutions. Click here to learn about Globus, and conditions needed to transfer files successfully.
SCC <—-> BU File Servers There are options to have the SCC transfer files with BU File Servers. These file servers must be connected to the BU network and configured properly for a successful connection. Read the page Transferring Files to/from Fileservers at BU to learn more.
