Copy namespace - copy a namespace from one location to another.- Tools like the Explorer and Desktop move the namespace if you just drag it somewhere else. Sometimes a copy is useful (but be mindful of unnecessarily duplicating data). See here for more information.
Download from an sFTP server (e.g. the Australian Synchrotron).- You will need to fill in the details of the sFTP server that you want to download from, including your username and password.
- There is no browse feature here, you just have to specify the source path to download.
- The data will be downloaded to the namespace you have right-clicked on.
- Use a tool like the Explorer or the Desktop to see the data arriving
- This function
- can handle source symbolic links - they will generates special Mediaflux symbolic link assets
- can be multi-threaded, but for large files, little improvement will be gained beyond 1 thread
- can notify the user when completed (so you can run in the background for long downloads)
- can skip already uploaded files (checking by path and file size only (a checksum check is not possible with sFTP)
- Example of main arguments for Australian Synchrotron
- host : sftp.synchrotron.org.au
- port : 22
- path : /data/mx/15402d/frames
- username : nkilleen@unimelb.edu.au
- password : <synchrotron password>
Recursively compute checksums in a namespace and email a CSV.- Mediaflux natively uses CRC32 checksums. It's pretty common to need others such as MD5 which is one of the choices available in this service.
Recursively count files and sum the storage space used by a namespace(directory)- The resulting sum is in bytes and human-readable formformat.
- See this page for more details
- Recursively validate asset and namespace names in the context of cross-operating system consistency.
