Editing Scanco User Instructions (section)

==== Batch File Transfer ====

This process also allows you to batch move/copy files on the Scanco Server. A useful pipeline for file transfer may be (once logged into the server):

1. Create a temporary file directory on the server (on the desktop or in the documents folder, for example).

2. Identify the locations of the files you would like to transfer (the [[Scanco_User_Instructions#File_Browser|file browser]] can help with this: right-click on the file and select 'Copy Physical Path')

3. Create a bash (.sh) script which iterates through those files, and copies them to the directory you made in step 1.

4. Run this script using the [[Scanco_User_Instructions#Console|console]] or cmd.exe on the server

5. Locate the directory you made in step 1 in File explorer (or on your desktop if that's where it was created)

6. Right-click the directory and click 'Copy' (or, select it and use the <code>Ctrl + C</code> keyboard shortcut)

7. Navigate back to your local computer, and paste the contents where you would like them stored


You can also use the [[Scanco_User_Instructions#Data_Manager|Data Manager]] to batch copy files to a directory on the workstation or an external drive that is connected. To do so (once logged in remotely):

1. Open the Data Manager application from the application center

2. Filter by Scan Group or sample name to find which files you would like

3. In the operation option buttons, select 'Copy To'. 

4. Beside the 'Copy To' button, select 'Export To ...' to export the files to a folder on the computer, or select the drive to copy the files to.

5. If you would like associated files rather than image files (e.g. logs, csv results, result PDFs...): 

Select 'IMA' under 'Selected Measurement'. Then, select which file types you would like to copy.

6. Click 'Start' to begin the copy

    NOTE: an ssh server is not currently active on the Scanco server, and therefore file transfer using command-line ssh connections (e.g. sftp, scp, rsync) cannot currently be authorized.
